Tolerant Progressives Assault Tomi Lahren

One threw a glass of water at her while repeating "Fuck that bitch" -- and throwing something at someone is assault. (In fact, I think it's also battery. Assault is the threat of an unwanted touching or an attempted unwanted touching; battery is a successful unwanted touching.)

John Sexton of Hot Air is pretty clear that this is unacceptable.

But I imagine that many of the cucks will be downplaying this incident, or completely ignoring it, because they've decided that Free Speech is not an inalienable right guaranteed by the Constitution, but something that only belongs to their Twitter Palz, because their Twitter Palz use Free Speech in the "right way" and are not Deplorable.

See, you can tell the cucks are all about #MuhPrinciples by the way they've changed the ethic "a nation of laws, not men" to a "a nation of #MuhTwitterPalz and #MuhTribe, and the Law is Stupid."

The cucks aren't as forthright as their liberal friends on this point, but they do agree with their liberal friends that speech rights belong to only approved members of the club.

Meanwhile, Twitter itself highlighted the event in a "Twitter Moment" which it described as a discussion about "whether or not she deserved it," which means Twitter itself is now violating its own alleged rules against encouraging violence and harassment.

Speaking of Twitter: Kurt Schlichter makes the point I saw but failed to articulate in my head, that the Federal judge's ruling that Twitter is a "public space" as regards "public figure's" timelines gives support to the idea that conservatives may sue Twitter to stop them from blocking conservatives' access to this "public space:"

I don't expect other Hawaiian judges to respect that obvious implication, though.

This is a nation of Favored Castes and Disfavored Castes, and different versions of the law apply to each.

And Steven Greene notes more conservatives are showing that they have been blocked by Democrat politicians -- so are those politicians required to unblock them?

Incidentally, Kurt has a book coming out in October called Militant Normals: How Regular Americans Are Rebelling Against the Elite to Reclaim Our Democracy.
