To be platforming someone means giving them a forum for their ideas without holding them to account or questioning them. I feel like this interviewer did a great job of calling this person to accounts.

I tend to agree with you here. He's becoming relevant and people need to know about him to understand him and to deny him. His ideas are fucking stupid, the real debate in my mind was whether or not those who are complaining about platforming or right or not. In the end, I think it's important that we be ready to defend against an idiot like this and I loved how the interviewer literally laughed at him several times because his ideas are laughable. I thought it was handled well.
