The First Amendment does not mean you need to give a platform to everyone. It means everyone is free to say what they like, but they have to find their own platform from which to do it. Maher decided to give his platform to a vicious, racist, white supremacist, attention-hungry fame-whore, who, frankly, is not making…
But Yiannopoulos' POV is strictly white supremacy, and more importantly, grandstanding for attention. To pretend that he has anything of weight to contribute to the conversation is a sham. Maher booked him because he wants attention too.
I can't tell if this is a spoof article or not.
