Saw it, and this isn't South Park humor, nor is it Larry Flint offending Falwell's mother. This is a political attack add and an incitement to violence, which is not protected speech. You have to take into account 45's daily constant attacks on the press and minorities on top of this video.
I am a very blasphemous person myself and do value protecting offensive speech, but this is not the same.
Back in the 70s and 80s there were plenty of lawsuits and arrests of Neo Nazis and KKK ORGS that successfully shut them down.
This is very dangerous rhetoric on the part of the makers which are clearly taking the lead from the POTUS whom, for years, and on a daily repeated basis vilified the press.
This is not just sad, this is dangerous.
Jut saw a Tweet from Cindy McCain condemning this video. I don't agree on much with the GOP, but again, this isn't merely "offensive", it is an incitement to violence on the press and dissent, and it is very dangerous rhetoric.
