They just wanted to get some lulls.
Like, do you think that that would be excusable at all?

But sometimes if you look underneath it all, they actually do believe in these things.
They're trying to hide behind the possibility that maybe it was a joke.
But if you peel through the layers a little bit, you find out actually, no, this is what they believe.
Yeah, I mean, I could imagine a scenario where someone who's here on a visa says something that wouldn't violate the law that would fall under free speech, but that the government took issue with and decided to revoke their visa over.

But I think even that's a stretch to say that someone should lose their visa status over something like that.
