the thing is, he said as much. he was saying “no one is defending chauvin”. everyone sees the video and thinks yeah murder. and you have to consider the date this was stated.
it was weinstein that pointed out...this isnt done yet. they can make a decent defense and the possibility of an acquittal may seem impossible but its not.
if you saw outrage over floyds death as virtue signalling...i mean you have A LOT of people then guilty.
there is an element of joining in with outrage when its safe, which im sure many people did. but this was a case where a vast majority of people were on the same page. so concluding “virtue signal” isnt fair imo.

this is a valid concern and its always possible. that said, he also had jocko on right away to explain why defunding police is retarded.
joe is a lefty at heart. hes just not a radicalized religious zealot. yet at least. hes still hosting guests that are talking about things you dont hear.
