Ghislaine Maxwell Trial (Epstein’s side piece)

My knee jerk reaction to this is that the two are not equal (Rodgers' comment and Kimmel's "joking"). But I'm starting to come around to them maybe being the same, the only difference being one is a dumb jock who isn't funny. I think it's possible Rodgers' intent was 100% to be funny (did he truly believe Kimmel was on the list?) I think it might have just been a dumb jock trying to be funny ("He's gay, HAHAHAHA"). And if that's the case, there's no difference, except in the quality of humor, which shouldn't play into this analysis at all. Intent is all that matters. And all the people out there who don't have a nuanced sense of humor and don't think Kimmel is funny, probably find these two exactly the same and are wondering why Kimmel's being such a hypocrite.
