“Despite major political differences, we forged a deep friendship. Alan, in the midst of great sickness and illness, showed the single greatest amount of courage I’ve ever seen. And through it all, he showed his incredible wit and humor that was Alan’s signature throughout his entire life. I’m truly heartbroken at the loss of a dear friend.”With the passing of Colmes, it may represent the final passing of any civilized discourse on issues. The so-called mainstream media has tacked so very hard to the left that they are openly opposing President Trump with impunity and in some cases even participating in protests. Their “coverage” plays right into the narrative believed by a heavily indoctrinated youth culture and all of the other “victimhood” groups that in turn has inspired violence against dissenting voices. College campuses which historically embraced free speech have become fascist centers where freedom of speech exists only for the left-wing politically correct. Welcome to the divided states of America. You know, I never agreed with Alan Colmes, but I think I’m going to miss him.
