I’m actually disappointed, I quite enjoyed the mystery.
Pfft. We’ve been hearing this line for decades, just not from him until now. Someone makes their living slandering and vilifying both individuals and entire classes of people, causing real harm, and their defense is “Just kidding! Jeeze, can’t you take a joke?”. From Limbaugh to Yiannapoulos and now Jones. It’s a dodge as despicable as the language it’s trying to cover, because nobody (supporters or detractors) is expected to actually believe them, it’s just the barest possible fig leaf.
