This is a good point. I’ve been thinking about it for the last few days. I think we can all agree though that genuinely celebrating murder crosses a line that supporting a political candidate does not - so I wouldn’t be surprised if folks treat this differently. Anyone celebrating is brainwashed in certain way like we all are in a certain way. It’s disgusting but ultimately I think it’s a mistake in their world model.

The pernicious nature of this post is that it is trying to equate celebrating a murder with disagreeing with identity politics (because that is the context of Matt Walsh's posts.)
It is the same logic that led to the murder itself: equating the sin of disagreeing with someone's identity to the sin of physical violence.
The two are not equal and should not be treated equally.

I agree they are not equal and should not be treated equally.

He specifically says you should ALWAYS oppose someone getting fired over a controversial speech.
It couldn't be any more clear how he is contradicting himself.
Take away your feelings about the situation, it isn't about that. It is about firing someone over a tweet, which he clearly disagreed with ALWAYS (meaning, without exception), but now he would like people to be fired over a tweet.
This isn't that complicated ;)

I'm curious. Who is should be more ashamed in your view: matt walsh for contradicting himself or people celebrating the murder of a guy whose speech they disagreed with?

You're changing the subject to remove focus from the point of this post. You want to make this about something else to avoid the difficult reality of his change in stance when it no longer is beneficial to him.
The post is about a man saying no one should ever get fired for sending out a controversial tweet. But that seemingly only applies to people on "his team" that send out controversial tweets. It does not apply to 'others' who send out controversial tweets that he dislikes.
