Florida Democratic Congresswoman Frederica Wilson and her hat were at Homestead detention facility today, where she offered up a fun little policy proposal: shutting down and prosecuting people who make fun of members of Congress online.

"Those people who are online, making fun of members of congress are a disgrace."
"There is no need for anyone to think that is unacceptable."
"We're going to shut them down and work with whoever it is to shut them down and they should be prosecuted. " —@RepWilson pic.twitter.com/h577vW9pRk

Her ideas are intriguing and we wish to subscribe to her newsletter.
“There’s no need for anyone to think that’s unacceptable.” Okay. Done.

😂 I think it was: “There’s no need for anyone to think. That’s unacceptable.”

Wilson’s just chock-full of brilliance. We’re not sure how she’s able to contain it so well.
It's against the law to make fun of Members of Congress online, says Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-HatsRUs) https://t.co/HAYjDZcOkF

Rep. Wilson, who is calling here for an end to freedom of political speech, is elected from a district that never comes up in the Democrat's tales of gerrymandering horror. https://t.co/V7Dy1TUidc

.@RepWilson's right that federal law prohibits threatening a member of Congress (and any federal official and their family). Making fun of them, however? Not so much. https://t.co/G1VIDJeZKL

Mocking an idiot congresswoman like Frederica Wilson is not only not a crime, but one could argue that it’s actually our civic duty. We’re not about to stop now.
That ain’t how free speech works lady. This is America. We know you don’t like the constitution and the rights it protects for American citizens. But you do have to abide by and recognize them.

She’s gonna prosecute like a billion people? Maybe we should prosecute members of congress who make up stuff and lie.

Oh, hey, and speaking of things a crazy person would say:
Need a 20 Tweet Kevin Kruse screed explaining why Frederica Wilson is right that it is illegal to make fun of Members of Congress online.

Can’t wait.
Dem Rep. Frederica Wilson says people who mock members of Congress online ‘should be prosecuted’
for....?
Or is that to mocking?
Your disagreement is noted and you are entitled to it. But I know what I know and could care less about those differing opinions.
That’s raciss!
Okay.
The other is going to join her.
no- but you take a look at the black women in congress- there is a high number that are truly low iq- but on the other hand, you can find a number of white and other races who are low iq in congress too, but usually, ut’s the black liberal women who are the loudest and most out front- hence the perception
Great point. How about Swalwell, AOC, Adam Schiff and Steve Cohen for starters? The moron is strong with them.
I don't think she's stupid because she's black but in some circles it will definitely increase her bad attitude. I think she's stupid because she was born that way just like Warren, Sanders, Biden, etc. etc.
Yep, the 1st amendment doesn’t apply to discussions about elected officials or the Islamic cult or homosexual perversion.
Nothing like a fascist showing its true colors.
This is the one with the cowboy hat shtick?
she should be made fun of 24/7.
If you want to know who rules you, find out who you’re not allowed to criticize.
She has the WRONG finger in the air!
I will probably fall out of my chair if i ever run across a sensible thoughtful democrat who’s views i differ with, but with whom i don’t automatically despise because they don’t hold to the usual liberal’s disgusting death culture agenda and anti-American ideology-
Most of the liberals out front in cognress are low iq and disgusting people
How about prosecuting politicians who do not uphold their oath of office to protect and defend our Constitution and hang those who work, support and pass laws that are contrary to it?
Smack Dab Middle of the road Fascist Nazi like comment.
All fascades are removed, they see themselves as American royalty, the ruling class.
We have free speech, you jerk...
Stupid? They’re he brightest ones in their whole district. They have a form of legal fraud running, and know how to work that whole melanin and mammary gland angle to keep those biscuit wheels turning on their gravy train. If you want stupid, just look at the ‘constituents’ who can be bothered to put down their malt liquor and Philly Blunts long enough to find their polling place without getting lost, and scratching out an ‘X’ on the ballot with their crayon.
+100! And traitors to boot. Making them domestic enemies of the republic.
