Video: Mitt Romney Argues That It Shouldn’t Be Illegal For Government To Use Big Tech For Censorship
Summit news ^ | 7/27/23 | Steve Watson

Posted on 07/27/2023 11:07:35 AM PDT by CFW

During a Senate hearing Wednesday, Mitt Romney argued against an amendment proposed by Rand Paul to make it illegal for government to use social media and big tech companies to censor the views of Americans.

Paul put forth the case that “the First Amendment really isn’t about protecting the speech of government workers the First Amendment says Congress shall make no law it’s about limitations on government involvement with speech.”

Paul continued, “if Twitter says bad things about me and puts up bad things and takes me down I have no recourse against Twitter, same with Facebook. I’m mad, I hate that YouTube has taken my speeches down I don’t do business with them anymore, because I think they’re bigoted, biased and wrong-headed on this.”

Simple, he lied to them. During the election where he ran for his seat, he had to promise to 1.) Not run against Pres. Trump in 2020 and 2.) Not say bad things about Trump, whom the Utah Mormons had grown to like, in order to get the Mormon vote. He had to go around to the wards and promise. He did so, they voted for him and they all know now that he lied. A Utah Mormon I know said most people think that he is “Evil”.

I might be OK with it being legal for the private entity to respond to a written government request for censorship.

As long as it is also a felony offense for any government employee, agent, contractor, or family member to request, suggest, or hint at censorship of anyone. The felony offense should be punishable by death or by life imprisonment as a federal jury determines, with a mandatory minimum of 5 years imprisonment.

Agree - every time you think you’ve set the bar as low as it can go for Mitt he manages to lower it further. - Total POS. yet I voted for him in preference to the turd, but the turd still won.

Good gravy. And to think... I was so angry when the majority of Freepers refused to vote for this clown when he ran against Obama.
Now, I get it. I am so ashamed that I didn’t then.

Cruel and unusual punishments shouldn’t be illegal for people like Romney.

Perhaps Mitt Romney should be censored by a third party. It would suit me fine.

Hopefully the People of Utah make the Correct decision and throw that RINO out of office a place a Solid Conservative in his position.

Why does Utah GOP citizens vote for this guy?
There are still people on this website that supported/voted for him and Paul Ryan for President and VP.

Somewhere, Romney is involved in whatever Biden has going in Ukraine.
It is the only thing that makes sense.
