If the knew the media would question them and hold them accountable for their anti American beliefs, they would not be so open to speak them.

But the media is just practicing what he is saying. They are stamping out free speech so that only their speech is publicized.

What a rotten piece of shite he is, lamenting the fact they can't control information anymore.

I'm all for someone shutting John Kerry's mouth and hammering away his free speech.

This shite has been going on since the beginning of time.

Here's an idea. Just tell the frickin truth. If you do that, people will listen.

History. Pre-election pontification by a political hack in 2024. 77 million people spoke in 11/2024 to clean up the mess that man’s party caused in the United States and the world. It’s a gargantuan task. Thank God Trump is on our side. Let’s pray for his safety and for him to persevere against the forces of evil that will stop at nothing to destroy him and our nation.

I know what he said. I watched the video. And I know why people are interpreting like they are. But he still didn’t say that “free speech must be stamped out”. He said that the first amendment blocks us from stamping out misinformation, which it does. And he didn’t advocate for getting rid of the First amendment either.


Well, he said "we must win enough to make effective change" when he was discussing the free speech. When asked about social media he said "democracies are facing challenges to governing like never before". He also said "we have to establish the right to govern".

So with all of that, one can reasonably conclude.

1) Democracy...they say it, but do not know what it means or they know what it means, but wish to destroy it anyway and just use the term to seem benevolent.
2) He mistakenly thinks the is a right to govern. This would mean there is a right to be governed. Governance isn't a right. It is an authority by those governing and an evil neccessity by those governed.
3) The effective change he mentions is directly tied to social media platforms and how he doesn't like that government cannot control the narrative. He is saying he wants to control it. To govern it. This statement, is the "free speech must be stamped out" sentence. Ignore it. Deny it. Whatever you wish to do, but that is historic political speech used for expressing the desire to curtail something he and his party doesn't like.
