Video: Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman: "This idea that saying that Pennsylvania was 'rigged' or that we were 'trying to steal the election' -- that's a lie. And you do not have the right, that is not protected speech."

I GD WELL DO HAVE THE RIGHT. WHERE DOES THIS STATIST POS GET OFF TELLING ME WHAT I HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY OR NOT SAY?

[philippa]

An embarassment to our state. Worse than Wolf.

This is truly another one of a bizarre moment in our history with the total downfall of our republican democracy. That this fool can so boldly shred our consitutional right to free speech without even taking a moment to understand what he did is truly something I never expected to see in my lifetime.

John Fetterman is really a fruit-eating, tree-hanging lizard man from planet Zlatu.

“I’m sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this administration, somehow you’re not patriotic. We need to stand up and say we’re Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration but only if you're a democrap complaining about republicans.” ~ Hillary Rodham Clinton

Yes, you did and yes I do.

As I understand it, Pennsylvania judges and administrators changed electoral processes that the U.S. Constitution ONLY allows the Legislature to change.

Come and get me jerk. Let’s have that argument in court. When I win, I’ll sue you into the ground.

Bullshit...yes it is.

Mostly because the constitution says so AND

Because IT’S TRUE!!

1A protects lies (not slander/libel) and more than that it protects speech that expresses a differing opinion or alternative conclusion.

[chopperk]

Welcome to the new Dem story line. Its going to get worse America.

[Olog-hai]

Fetterman . . . no comment.

[noiseman]

This is usually due to laws against defamation, that is making statements that harm the reputation of another.

And the Governor is a public figure, therefore exempt from protection from defamation.

[DesertRhino]

It is protected speech. It is the epitome of protected speech. And we have a right in the second amendment to enforce it.

This is a literal fact.

[Mr. Blond]

The election was stolen.

[C210N]

It wasn’t the ‘trying’ that was the main issue.

It was the ACTUAL DOING it.

[cyclotic]

If last week accomplished anything, even though it was an Antifa riot, it showed these elected employees that they need to live in fear of We the People. This thug needs to shut his face

[farmguy]

No “trying” about it.

You DID steal the election

(arrest me mf)

No wonder the elitists are scared. They are pissing us off. Anyone catch Bidns speech stating he will invoke EO mandating Americans must wear masks?
