Readers respond: Cancel culture on steroids

Charlie Kirk would not have supported how Donald Trump, JD Vance and the entire administration are trampling on the First Amendment. Whether you agreed with him or not, Charlie was a powerful force, never afraid to engage in the honest exchange of ideas – anywhere. Trump and Vance however are seeking to abuse the power of their office and trash the First Amendment, just so they can appear strong.
This is not conservatism. This is cancel culture on steroids. Charlie was a First Amendment lion. Trump and Vance are First Amendment arsonists. We must be patient. The First Amendment will rise from the ashes once again.
