On Thursday’s edition of The Five, the Fox News host went after a student art exhibit at Westfield High School called “Law Enforcement — Police Brutality,” which features drawings like this one:
As Mediaite readers may recall, in the aftermath of two gunmen attempting to kill people at a “Draw Muhammad” contest in Garland, Texas, Bolling was rightfully unequivocal in his support of free speech.
So how did Bolling react to this display by young students?
“I get the idea of free speech but…”
Oh lord, here we go.
“…hey, teachers at Westfield would you put up an art exhibit showing teachers abusing students? I don’t think you’d do it.”
Yes, because teachers are the arm of the state, regularly using violent force against citizens, sometimes in excessive or unjustified ways.
“I’d like to see that thing taken down,” the Fox host concluded. Kimberly Guilfoyle agreed. These drawings offended police officers — quelle horreur — and so it must be stamped out.
Apparently, according to people like Bolling, free speech rights are determined by whomever the speech offends.
