Mexican President Defends Trump and Calls Out Big Tech for Violating Free Speech
Big League Politics ^ | January 9, 2021 | Jose Nino

Posted on 01/09/2021 7:54:28 AM PST by CheshireTheCat

In a strange turn of events, Mexican president Andres Manuel López Obrador recently came to President Donald Trump’s defense after social media platforms blocked his account.

Facebook and Twitter’s decision to ban President Trump elicited strong words from the Mexican president, who described the actions as a “bad omen.”

I may have to become an illegal immigrant to Mexico, but I understand they are pretty tough on illegal immigrants when they want to be.

1. Good on the Mexican president.

2. Speaking of tech and free speech, has anyone else been getting the following “Private Account — User Has Not Approved You” message when trying to view Pres. Trump’s posts on Parler? Got that message just now.

This isn’t the first time he has supported Trump. It’s odd but very refreshing.

God Bless Trump, but please, rather than complaining about Twitter or Facebook or calling for yet more unconstitutional government regulation of private enterprise, instead Trump & Co. should encourage the heads of his and other rich patriots’ businesses to finance Patriotic Big-Tech Social Media sites that will almost certainly and quickly out-compete the Twitters and Facebooks of the world.

Freedom and the Free Market, not government coercion, is what America is all about and is how we WIN!

All the lying bastards who said Trump was a racist to Mexico. They cover up his excellent relationship with the left wing Mexican president.

And El Presidente gets it!

FREEDOM!

It’s because the Mexicans likely in many instances greatly admire and respect Trump. Just as Russians did concerning Reagan back in a time like 1984 but you would never ever hear the media tell that either.

Other countries are seeing the writing on the wall. If the globalists can take over the American elections, then no country is safe.

“Supposedly email has been blocked from being sent by trump to his followers”

YOU’RE RIGHT.

I used to get daily emails from the white house. Five stories you want to hear, etc.

Silence the last few days.

The concept of ***private companies deciding*** who can be censored and muzzled violates the freedom of speech.
Private companies not deciding they take orders from the left they are party members it’s kind of like if Stalin had the internet.
