Einbinder does say it was strange to see it unfold. “I think it was like, holy shit, this is really crazy and also spooky that it was specifically late night and specifically that type of censorship,” she noted. “It’s so bizarre.”
However, she added, in some ways, it was not unexpected. “Kind of observing the way that things have been going for quite some time, I didn’t find what happened to Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel to be a shock at all because of all the censorship that we’ve seen. Academics, journalists, students, have been fired or expelled, or, in some cases locked up for expressing their speech. So, watching that transpire in was in no way a surprise to me, unfortunately.”
