Is this promoting free speech… or hate speech??
On Wednesday, the Real Time With Bill Maher Twitter account broke the news that Breitbart writer Milo Yiannopoulos will appear on Friday’s show along with Larry Wilmore and Leah Remini.

In case you aren’t familiar, the right-wing provocateur is the same person who tweeted insults at Leslie Jones, and who started a scholarship exclusively for white males.
Not surprisingly, the Internet criticized the late night TV show for giving the disgusting troll such a large platform. Twitter users wrote:

@RealTimers @billmaher @HBO Bill, big fan here and also now a disappointed one. Fine line between free speech and feeding the monster…
