Kathy Griffin was put through hell for two years just for tweeting a picture of herself holding a bloody Trump mask.
She was investigated, interrogated multiple times, and barred from flying. The failing CNN banned her from their New Years specials (and let's be honest, she's the only reason those specials were worth watching). She never called for anyone to kill Donald Trump, she was making a joke. And she ended up paying a heavy price for it.
I support her right to free speech and my attitude towards Bannon is no different. No, I don't believe that Bannon is actually encouraging people to kill Fauci and Wray, just as Kathy Griffin was not telling people to kill Donald Trump.
Bannon is a loser anyway. The fact that he's still sucking up to his former boss who hates him tells you all you need to know about him.
The amount of blatant and frankly pointless (even from a "journalistic integrity means covering all lies equally!" standpoint) both sidesism I saw on CNN since Tuesday was enough to covince me not to watch it ever again.
