The former vice president spoke with the credibility of someone who was vilified by Trump on Jan. 6, but even he rushed to condemn the Justice Department.

It's never been about freedom of speech.

All along it's been about toxic assholes feeling entitled to an audience for their bullshit.

What happens in Canada doesn't stay in Canada.
