Blaze TV hosts are reacting to the ongoing controversy involving Twitter. Last week, CBS News said it was halting its activity on the platform amid layoffs and resignations at the company.
Jeff Fisher joined Pat Gray and Steve Burguiere aka Stu, on the “Glenn Beck Show ” Monday to discuss some of the latest developments involving Twitter including owner Elion Musk banning conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
Burguiere said it’s strange to see how left-leaning pundits have demonized Elon Musk following his acquisition of Twitter.
“This guy should be a liberal icon,” stated Burguiere. “We lose sight of this because he says things about free speech that I guess is exclusively a right-wing issue.”
Burguiere said that Musk should be able to do anything that he wants with Twitter considering the amount of money he invested to purchase the company.
“This whole thing that he’s the icon of free speech, I don’t know if that’s true,” added Burguiere.
Musk announced recently that conspiracy theorist Alex Jones received a permanent ban on Twitter for his involvement in denying that the Sandy Hook massacre took place.
“He (Musk) has been a hard no on Alex no matter what,” said Fisher.
“He has apologized for it,” Burguiere said. “He’s also been sued for billions of dollars over it.”
“The thing about Alex Jones is that some of us don’t like what he said,” Gray remarked. “But, who cares, that’s what you call free speech.”
