    Jeet Heer Retweeted Jonathan Chait

    This tweet itself misconstrues Weiss' position. In her tweet she endorsed an article that called on speech by @elivalley to be cancelled (and also, obscenely, called Valley a Nazi). Hard to reconcile that with Weiss' normal free speech bromides.https://twitter.com/jonathanchait/status/1125835769095045121 …

    Jonathan ChaitVerified account @jonathanchait
    Lots of lefties dunking on Weis are misconstruing her position. Saying "this speaker is bad, you should not choose to endorse them" is not calling for the speaker to be disrupted. https://twitter.com/jonathanchait/status/1125835327204155394 …

        And as people have pointed out, she equates criticism with wanting people to be silenced all the time

        Replying to @TheBostonView @HeerJeet @elivalley

        It talks numerous times about how Valley should not be platformed and that holding the event is wrong. That is a call for it to be cancelled, even if he didn't specifically use the words "this event should be cancelled".

        Personally, I’m okay with deplatforming neo-Nazis, but if her whole shtick is that offensive speech can’t be denied a platform, then she can’t make exceptions for people who are mean to her, personally, without coming across as an opportunistic hack.

        If you're OK with deplatforming Neo-Nazis, then you have to be OK with deplatforming Eli Valley.

        it's true, it was a disappointing move, but a satisfying ratio at least.
