    Are we cancelling people for associating with their friends now? He defended him before the worst of the tweets surfaced. Would any of you do differently if it was your friend?

      Oh, no, don't worry i'm not trying to cancel anyone; i genuinely don't care about twitter drama between strangers on the other side of the world. I just think saying "On our show he's always the pro-Israel one!" and thinking that automatically prevents anti-semitism is funny and also peak :LIB:

        Yeah definitely a knee jerk cringe take. He’s cornered and caught off guard about his friend, this defense was also before the worst tweets came up. He’s gone radio silent so I assume he’s working this out and will come back with a statement. Omnibus is done I think.

      would you do differently?

      uhhh, yes?

      like, you dont need to publically drag your friend, but if your friend is being tied to weird racist shit maybe dont publically defend them either if you dont want to get slapped with the same brush.

      maybe instead be like "hey @friendlyfriendo wtf is up with this?" and have a little chat about it next time you bring the spouse and kids over for a bbq

            Yeah that was the first to come up and the first couple were over the top obvious satire.

            Once the n-words and rape jokes came up Ken stopped tweeting. Probably doing damage control behind the scenes

              yeah whatever. youre downbearing me for saying i would have done differently, if my friend was credibly accused of racism, by simply not being racist... so, fuck off :LIB:

                Again, at the point of his tweets there were no accusations of racism or racist tweets yet unearthed.

                Once those came up Ken never said anything.

                Are you able to grasp the concept of linear time?

                  again at this point of his tweets he was asked about antisemetism and chose to be a dumbass that equates anti-israel with antisemitism.

                  are you able to grasp that?

                    Yeah and he realized what he said was dumb and he was starting to post cringe, apologized, and logged off
