Prince Harry said in a recent podcast interview with Dax Shepard that America’s First Amendment is “bonkers.”
Prince Harry was discussing his new role at a non-profit called the Aspen Institute with Shepard on his podcast, “Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard.” He will serve on the “Commission on Information Disorder” and will conduct studies with 14 other people on a panel to analyze the spread of incorrect information throughout the country, according to The Spectator.
“As I’ve said, the experience of today’s digital world has us inundated with an avalanche of misinformation, affecting our ability as individuals as well as societies to think clearly and truly understand the world we live in,” Prince Harry said about his new job. “It’s my belief that this is a humanitarian issue and as such, it demands a multi-stakeholder response from advocacy voices, members of the media, academic researchers, and both government and civil society leaders.”
When discussing the spread of misinformation, Prince Harry expressed confusion with the First Amendment.
“I’ve got so much I want to say about the First Amendment as I sort of understand it, but it is bonkers. I don’t want to start going down the First Amendment route because that’s a huge subject and one which I don’t understand because I’ve only been here a short time,” Prince Harry said. “But, you can find a loophole in anything. You can capitalize or exploit what’s not said rather than uphold what is said.”
Prince Harry’s comments drew rebukes by many on Twitter.
Just Maybe...
Harry should have a blood test and under go a DNA search...or has he already?
Just Wondering...
Oh yes Mr. almighty punk. Its better that a oligarch runs things so they can rape, pillage, burn and half hang and draw and quarter, like your ancestors did-for example, Bloody Mary had how many burned at the stake for religious freedom?
One was an ancestor of mine.
Who gives a shit what the ass says? I don’t.
Harry ‘The first amendment is bonkers, and I’m an expert on bonkers!!’
I don’t accept the concept of monarchy, so harry is just harry. His opinion doesn’t mean anything.
You mean I had a better middle class education having learned about the Magna Carta over Harry’s elite education apparently teaching nothing about the Bill of Rights?
Of course, a man whose life has been one step under the royal head of The Church of England, must think that the entire U.S. Constitution is ‘nuts’.
Hey, ‘harry’, get yo’ behind out of MY America!!!
Piss poor choice of words, Harry. Better to have said something along the lines of, ‘I’m new to the intricacies of American Constitutional rights, however I due support everyone having their say within legal bounds, and I look forward to learning more about the laws and customs of this wonderful country.’
My reply on DM is not being posted....so much for unmoderated threads...or free speech.....
I don’t care what Harry says ...free speech .... I am DISGUSTED by what PRINCE/DUKE HARRY says. His titles represent the royals of England. As long as he holds those titles, he and DUCHESS Meghan speak for them. America has no titles. Time to remove their titles before they provoke an international incident.
That would require three things: Logic, Reason and Humility................
This is why incest was banned long ago ....
Our first free speech letter was the break up letter to England titled: The Declaration of Independence. Deal with it Harry and butt out.
The Brits often use ‘’bonkers’’ to mean ‘’crazy’’ or ‘’bad’’. “Mad’’ is another word they’ll use to mean ‘’crazy’’, as in “Are you mad?!’’.
Americans seldom ever use ‘’mad’’ to mean ‘’crazy’’.
When we say ‘’mad’’ it means just that.We’re upset, pissed off or angry.
In a society where the people are citizens rather than subjects, the people are not ruled but are free. Ordered freedom includes freedom of speech
“Commission on Information Disorder”
Oh, that just sounds like a grand idea.
Get stuffed, Their Prince. There is a reason why our ancestors twice kicked your ass.
So true.
This guy, and his goofy wife, need to cut ribbons and post for pictures. they are not the brains they pretend to be.
Not really. Dogs get mad. People get angry. I’ve never use used mad to describe angry.
