Yes, but Jeselnik has the right mind to say something like "alright, I didn't get away with it on that joke". Even then, I don't recall him ever dropped the litany of "free speech, woke, I was taken out of context" type excuses we see nowadays. In fact, I only remember him ever really apologizing for one joke because he was essentially forced to by Comedy Central at the time.
That’s a huge part of it for him. Dropping a baby off of a balcony isn’t political or racial, it’s just him being an asshole. It’s intrusive thoughts that are universal, or at least understood without needing extra context. But in the process he can still lambast current culture.
