CNN host Fareed Zakaria argued Friday on HBO’s “Real Time” that liberals should stop enforcing “double standards” on their platforms after the firing of former Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel from NBC.
NBC News terminated its contract with McDaniel after just four days. According to a memo and apology that NBCUniversial News Group Chairman Cesar Conde issued to staff, McDaniel’s hiring was not conducive to a “cohesive and aligned” newsroom.
When asked to weigh in on the controversial decision, Zakaria pointed out that the arguments to remove McDaniel were not fair to both conservatives and liberals.
Zakaria acknowledged that about one third of the country still believes that the 2020 election was incorrectly decided, which amounts to 85 million Americans.
“The point here is, liberals are meant to believe in free speech – that is one of the foundation values of liberalism. If you’re going to de-platform 85 million Americans, that’s a lot of people,” Zakaria said.
“They say, no, it’s not about that, it’s that she [McDaniel] lied, Well, Bill Clinton lied, under oath. I think, last time I checked, he’s been on MSNBC. They say, well, she’s an election denier. Well, Stacey Abrams was an election denier about her own election and they’ve had her on,” he added.
“Liberals often trigger backlash when they use illiberal means to get to their ends,” he warned.
“The way you’re going to defend it [liberalism], the way you’re going to move it forward is by not cheating, not cutting corners, not having double standards, because if we have them, then what Trump says is, well, ‘you cut corners, I cut corners,’” he added.

In a separate monologue on his own show, Zakaria, while condemning Trump and claiming he tried to overturn an election, argued that all sides must be allowed to speak.
He also suggested that the legal attacks against Trump are not working and said he should be beaten on the political battlefield and not by legal prosecutions. He noted that many of the things Trump is being charged for happened years ago, and admitted that if Trump were not running for president, the charges would have never been filed against him.
Trump’s right-wing populism is illiberal, xenophobic, often racist, and takes America into dark dead-ends. But the way to defeat it is not by using legal mechanisms that take him off the political playing field and canceling those who support him.
