Media: Read. The. Law.
The Columbia radical's case is *not* a free speech cause celebre.
For days, it’s been relentless. Big media outlets have been convincing Americans and people all over the world that the case of a pro-terror radical is a major test of constitutionally protected free speech. Fact check: No. It isn’t.
In the new episode of They Stand Corrected, I explain this. After reading, watching, and listening to a bunch of reports about Mahmoud Khalil, the media’s latest Hamas-supporting darling, I went and looked up what the law actually says.
In this episode, you’ll hear from a former Miss Iraq who became a U.S. citizen. She explains why no one should feel sympathy for this man.
Meanwhile, Trump is doing many awful things. The media does not need to make up new ones.

Plus: How the media is like the Tower of Babel, sowing confusion over three isms: transgenderism, feminism, and Zionism. More on that in the next newsletter.
