Conservative radio and television host Glenn Beck compared the deplatforming of conservatives to the “digital ghetto” in a January 12 appearance on Fox News.
Speaking on “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Beck, who founded the conservative website The Blaze, said, “This is like the Germans with the Jews behind the wall, they would put them in a ghetto. Well this is a digital ghetto. You can talk all you want, Jews, do whatever you want behind the wall. That’s not meaningful.” Beck later clarified in the segment that his analogy is “not to compare it to the Germans. It’s not to do anything but warn if you don’t stand up for free speech, you will be the one that loses it as well.”
