I'm not saying he (Jennings) is wrong, just that it's a douche thing to say. I'm not sure how I feel about cancel culture and I don't think Jennings needs to get "tarred" for a tweet. That said, I also don't think he's being robbed of any basic human rights here and knowing this, I'd rather give the (presumably well-paid, relatively prestigious and very public) job of Jeopardy! host to someone who isn't on record as needing to broadcast a message with no known benefit to anybody.

Cancel culture is ridiculous. Ironic username.

In some countries, freedom of thought and speech is a basic human right.

Name some countries where you can be free of all social and economic repercussions for your speech?

You clearly can have the right to state your opinions. Other people also clearly have the right not to do business with you based on those stated opinions.

Repercussions scale inversely with wealth, and power.

Homeless people can say whatever they want without repercussion too.
