CBS Executive Fired For Hateful Comments, Why It's Not A Free Speech Issue

A lot of really horrible things have been said in response to the Las Vegas mass shooting last night. Among those was a comment from Haley Geftman-Gold, a now former lawyer and VP for CBS. Haley lost her job for saying she had no sympathy for those who were killed or wounded because they were probably gun toting republicans. MundaneMatt made a video about this and under most other circumstances I’d agree 100% with his take on the situation. However, in this case there is a special circumstance that forces me to disagree. Since I do spend so much time on free speech, I thought I owed it to you guys to explain why I have no problem with her getting fired for what she said. ***Support This Channel*** Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/rantingmonkey Merchandise: https://teespring.com/stores/ranting-monkey ***Monkey on Social Media*** Minds: https://www.minds.com/RantingMonkey Twitter: https://twitter.com/Ranting_Monkey Vid.me: https://vid.me/Ranting_Monkey Ask Me: http://ask.fm/Ranting_Monkey Discord: https://discord.gg/Vq5dkKG ***Streams Each Night at 9PM EST*** Scribe’s Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSjdLK4vhH4SWU3jhJs85WQ Scribe’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/Scribe_Light SDA’s Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtHM-XDaoo5I7y-Ew6p6OlQ SDA’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/somedumb_yt Intro Music Music - Days Like Today (live in studio) used with permission: https://bearing.bandcamp.com/ Outro Music by Keri Ann used with permission and slowed way down: https://youtu.be/e8Nv85s_BEg B-roll Footage from: https://www.youtube.com/user/Beachfrontprod/featured Disclaimer: Links are provided for context.
