Ross is absolutely right. This is an awful decision by @Niskanencenter. @willwilkinson
made a bad joke, and he correctly apologized for it. But no one, anywhere, thinks he was actually advocating for violence. This is actual cancel culture, by the people who claim to condemn it.

Will was fired by @NiskanenCenter because online trolls pretended to be offended by a joke he made on Twitter. A model case for how organizations devoted to truth and discourse should not react. I'm sure Will we be fine, but my respect for Niskanen has plummeted.
