Delegate Stacey Plaskett (D-VI) defended censorship on Thursday, arguing that certain views should not enjoy the free speech protections of the First Amendment, which she said was limited by the Supreme Court.
Plaskett, the ranking member of the minority on the House Weaponization Subcommittee, attacked the alleged views of one of the witnesses, Democratic Party presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, calling them hateful.
“This is not the free speech that I know of,” she said. She recalled a recent controversy over remarks Kennedy made about the coronavirus affecting some population groups more than others, among other past comments.

Unfortunately, on Fox we didn’t get to see the Breitbart witness who followed Kennedy give her testimony about big tech censoring the story of Hunter’s laptop.She made a mockery of the Dem lies and the lies from politico and others.

Hopefully there won’t someday be a majority SCOTUS that agrees with her.We're only 2-3 justices away from that.
