The Spin

Left narrative

Bob Vylan’s fury may be jarring, but it is not unjustified. To sanitize Charlie Kirk’s legacy is to erase the harm he inflicted through racist, misogynistic, and authoritarian rhetoric. Condemning political violence does not require silencing those who refuse to canonize him. The duo had every right to voice their truth against hagiography masquerading as remembrance.

Right narrative

Bob Vylan's inflammatory stage remarks have triggered swift consequences — their Netherlands gig canceled as venues declared that their comments "go too far." This accountability reflects essential boundaries in civil discourse. When public figures weaponize platforms to mock or incite violence, they must face the music. Free speech also carries responsibility.
