Have any of the comedians that were whining about cancel culture spoke up about the Kimmel debacle?

Specifically those that kept whining about cancel culture - which was BS - they were getting pushback regarding their bigoted " jokes". How on earth you scream you are being canceled while simultaneously speaking on platforms with millions of people is beyond me. Ahem (Rogansphere comedy bros) -
So now we have 2 comedians that were actually canceled. Have any of these bros said anything about this?

I think a lot of people want me to comment on it. It’s a weird thing,” Carolla said (via THR). “The right and the left are always sort of misinterpreting things. He was inaccurate about something. It wasn’t like he was necessarily attacking Charlie Kirk. He was trying to dump it on Trump and inaccurate about it.”


This is what his longtime so-called friend Carola said about him, I don’t think he was inaccurate was he?

What everybody says he said, here is what he said:



The Maga gang [is] desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” he said.

in support of free speech while still claiming the left loves to stifle free speech - claiming that some on the right are now acting like the left. Give me a damn break.
But nothing from Rogan. These guys have played a huge role in where we are in the country. Whining for the last years about being canceled - All the while speaking to millions of people and making a ton of money punching down on vulnerable people. Its hypocrisy

while they were wrong about what Kimmel said they both were correctly appalled by what the FCC did.
