This week in hearings at the House Weaponization Subcommittee, Congressional Delegate Stacey Plaskett (D-VI) rejected Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s complaint against being censored, saying that "certain views should not enjoy the First Amendment free speech protections. These include views that undermine public health and government authority. Mr. Kennedy's opposition to making covid vaccination mandatory both endangered public health and undermined the government's authority to compel people to participate in this life-saving medication."
Plaskett went on to contend that "Republicans aren't interested in protecting legitimate freedom of speech. They just want to force social media companies to promote conspiracy theories because they think that's the only way their candidates can win elections."
Kennedy objected to Plaskett's remarks: "Virtually every statement that you just made about me is inaccurate. The hastily concocted covid vaccines have been shown to have harmful effects while failing to provide the promised protection against the virus. Censoring my attempts to convey this information is what endangered public health."
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) characterized Plaskett's arguments as "a further attempt to censor Mr. Kennedy's testimony at this hearing. Her contention that 'certain views' are unworthy of the Constitution's protection of freedom of speech is flat out wrong."
Plaskett insisted that "it is Mr. Massie who is wrong. The Constitution only prohibits Congress from infringing on freedom of speech. The President has the authority as Commander-in-Chief to silence, imprison, or order the execution of anyone he deems is a threat to national security or our democracy. Mr. Kennedy is fortunate that President Biden chose the mildest of the sanctions available to him."

Can’t handle the truth it makes her turn white with anger
She is the poster child for Fascism.
Do you think all of your older articles are no longer satire, but now true?
Plaskett insisted that “The Constitution only prohibits Congress from infringing on freedom of speech.”
“The President has the authority, as Commander-in-Chief, to silence, imprison, or order the execution of anyone he deems is (A) a threat to national security, or, (B) to our Democracy.”
“Mr. Kennedy is fortunate that the tolerant and compassionate President Biden chose the mildest of the sanctions available to him.”
In other words, censorship is the only way to protect free speech.
yes
All of my semi-satires are essentially true when I post them. I just help clarify the tyranny by adding the unspoken motives and intentions of these left-wing goons.
Keep it up, they’re good.
