How do I know that?
Well, the Biden administration condemned the action
quote:

Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) joined lawmakers from Europe in issuing a condemnation.

The Belarus Pres is no angel, but he’s apparently not playing nice with marxists in the US and Europe, or this wouldn’t be a story.

The left loves to protect their propagandists.

Remember when they had a fit when Khashoggi was Epsteined?

Kinda a weird thing to say when he is a Marxist (I would think). I mean, he was the only person who voted against dissolving the Soviet Union in the Belarus parliament

Maybe I don't know what these terms mean anymore.

Yes, and he won’t play nice with other marxists. Otherwise they’d be giving him cover.

Ya I suppose there is a difference between the real deal Marxists and some college liberal arts majors.

I’m sure you’re an ardent supporter of free speech.

In fact, I am.

You apparently believe that supporting the propaganda media is supporting free speech. They’d be thrilled to see the constitution forgotten.

I'm sure that you supported Donald Trump's free speech on January 6th.

Sure. Tell us about the criminal repercussions he’s faced from his speech on January 6th.

I believe people can say what they wish and leave it up to individuals to decide or let others counter the speech. What I definitely don’t support is giv using force to stifle speech critical of said gov.

Criminal being the operative word. Impeachment is a political process and not affected by the first amendment

Do you believe the authoritarian leftist government in Belarus lists freedom of speech in a constitution? It doesn’t. Leftists don’t like public criticism.

"high crimes and misdemeanors"

Maybe you recall that from your constitutional law class?

This doesn’t track with your OP pal. That being said supporting free speech isn’t or shouldn’t be driven by the political leanings of the gov in power.

Have you ever approached a debate with a straight forward argument?

Sure if there's a debate going on. I thought we were just throwing bombs.

I do. And an originalist such as yourself should know that’s a term of art and know that phrase was understood to encompass all types of misuses of power and political abuses that did not rise to a criminal offense.

Don’t blame me for your ignorance.
