An excellent column, Jon. I have been struggling with what to say and today I found my voice. Your piece helps to disect the situation, the role of the media, and the role that all of us - conservative, liberal, progressive, whatever - can play to heal the country and make a more tolerant America. Appreciate you!
I was aware of Charlie and used to follow him many years ago. While I admired his fight I just could not stomach hearing the errant beliefs of all those young people. However, would you be able to explain the clips being shown that are "proof of his racism" such as his comment which I paraphrase about a black woman not having enough brain cells to process thoughts? I just don't trust the ability to get to the bottom of this video. I sure hope you know if he did indeed say this or was it taken out of context or just AI?

I think the section titled "America's Choice" hit the heart of the matter as a way to present a way forward.
While I agree about “let’s fight for Charlie”, I liked your line above it better, “Let’s fight LIKE Charlie”. Thanks for sharing.
