Jesse Watters says "free Palestine" isn't hate speech, but Kraft can still ban him

Watters takes two materially different positions on the two parts of that. On the speech itself, he rejects the "hate speech" characterization and says he heard nothing objectionable, which favors Macklemore. On the removal, he does not criticize it at all; he affirmatively defends Kraft's prerogative to exclude Macklemore from the venue regardless of the reason, comparing it to ejecting anyone who annoys him. That is a defense of the conduct under scrutiny, not a condemnation of it. The closest competing label is condemns, since several outlets framed this as Watters "defending" Macklemore; that framing describes only the first half of the clip. It loses because the second half is an explicit shrug at the removal itself ("who cares?"), which is not a criticism of Kraft's action. “Mixed or conditional” is used because the two positions are about different components of the same conduct under scrutiny and are not reconciled in the clip.
