Glenn Greenwald says few on the left will object to the hosts' laughter, even on grounds of basic decency
Glenn GreenwaldJournalist and host of System Update, in a post on X
Quoting Kolvet's post with the clip, Greenwald says very few on the left will object to it even on grounds of basic decency, such as saying people should not publicly cackle and celebrate when someone is fatally shot, because they fear criticism from their audiences and other commentators.
“Very few on the left will object to this even on just basic decency or humanity grounds -- even if it's just to say: mabye we shouldn't publicly cackle and celebrate when someone is fatally shot in the neck? -- because online group-think means they'll be castigated by their audience and other commentators and they don't have the courage to endure even that kind of trivial criticism.”

About this source
The Daily Wire posted a 96-second excerpt of the hosts' video feed from the November 5 episode of I've Had It. Jennifer Welch reads posts celebrating Democratic election results from a list shown on screen, then reads one that says, "We're digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again." Both hosts laugh for about 20 seconds. Angie Sullivan then says Kirk was shot by somebody that was "super MAGA family" and Welch says he was shot by "a MAGA person". Welch adds that the only thing she ever saw Robinson wearing was a MAGA hat.
