British comedian Ricky Gervais called out the hypocrisy of milkshake-throwing leftists, pointing out that those who endorse such violent acts are often the same people who believe that words and speech can equate to violence.
The concept of “milkshaking” has gained significant media attention in recent weeks amid multiple cases on both sides of the Atlantic of “anti-fascist” activists throwing milkshakes at conservative politicians, journalists, or ordinary members of the public.
Many on the left have sought to legitimize such behavior, arguing that it does not amount to violence or the common standard of assault. But not Ricky Gervais.
The 58-year-old comedian pointed out how those defending the throwing of milkshakes are often the same people who believe certain forms of speech should be classed as violence.
“It’s interesting that the people who believe that throwing a milkshake in someone’s face shouldn’t be considered assault are often the same people who believe that ‘saying things’ should be,” he said.
His comments came just after journalist Andy Ngo was brutally beaten by Antifa members in Portland, Oregon. The far-left Antifa thugs through punches and milkshakes on Ngo.
