In a resurfaced video clip, the governor states, 'There's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech and especially around our democracy'
Kamala Harris' pick to be her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, used just eight seconds to reveal he doesn't know the Constitution.
In a resurfaced video clip, since he was picked by Harris this week, he states, "There's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech and especially around our democracy"
It was part of a longer interview with the leftist MSNBC a year ago.
The Constitution and the court precedents it has inspired do not allow for censorship of speech that someone considers "hate" or speech that someone considers "misinformation."
Speech that is restricted is that which would threaten inspire or call for violence.
A large part of the problem is that leftists have demanded that it is their opinion about what constitutes hate speech or misinformation or disinformation or misinformation that must be the controlling standard, when in fact their definitions are nothing more than their own opinions about speech.
Online commenters quickly corrected the Democrat:
"He's wrong. The First Amendment is precisely to protect unpopular speech."
"Look I'm no constitution expert but…uh…yes there IS a guarantee to free speech on those things. Very much so. Walz is terrifying."
"'You have full freedom of speech, as long as you stick to the approved topics and opinions.' I… don't think that's how it works."
