He violated MSNBC policy by speaking the truth.

No. He did speak the truth.

There's an unwritten rule on all billionaire platforms. Everybody knows what it is.

You can't be happy about the deaths of billionaires, the corporate class, or their propagandists. Even if they poisoned your dog that morning, you're still expected to say "I don't agree with your opinion, sir".

Well, fuck that. I'm glad that killer is out there. They make me feel safe. I hope, in the future, they continue to make me feel safe. Yet reality is probably more like "Oops, I missed the ear this time!"

None of that should make sense, but it does.
