A story in four tweets in one morning.
There is no defence of this. You can't on the one hand talk about the full horror of the holocaust, demand "freedom of speech" for antisemites who weaponised the holocaust against trans people, and respond to it all with "grow up".

Joanna Cherry's politics are clear - Rights and freedoms are for her and hers, not for anyone else. Sexism is when she is criticised, not when women face oppression. Free speech means the power to silence critics of your bigotry, not for everyone's right to be heard.
Her continued participation in a hate campaign empowered by her party platform is a stain on the SNP. As long as it continues she will continue to hurt the party and Scotland.
It is well past time for the SNP's leadership to step past their cowardice and condemn Cherry.

After all, this is hardly the first time she's pulled this kind of behaviour out in public https://twitter.com/MammothWhale/status/1354049281632722944
That time when "free speech" matters to you but if you spell even a whiff of criticism of your actions you threaten to flatten them with legal action. https://twitter.com/tristangrayedi/status/1354066438898774016
