This week, Briahna speaks Monday's protagonist, Emma Camp, the UVA senior who wrote a viral New York Times article titled: I Came to College Eager to Debate. I Found Self-Censorship Instead.

How does she respond to the criticism that she's been given one of the country's biggest platforms, and yet complains censorship is a problem? Is there truly a cancel culture problem -- even if it's been poorly defined by cancel-culture evangelists? Does the left risk credibility by not acknowledging a sliver of a there there?
