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’”

Historically, some Americans have opposed electing to Congress people like Ms. Wilson.

Now we know why.
