Jonathan Turley: The addition of Walz completes a perfect nightmare for free speech advocates

 Walz has shown not only a shocking disregard for free speech values but an equally shocking lack of understanding of the First Amendment.

Walz went on MSNBC to support censoring disinformation and declared, “There’s no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy.”

Ironically, this false claim, repeated by many Democrats, constitutes one of the most dangerous forms of disinformation. ...

The Supreme Court has consistently rejected the claim of Gov. Walz. For example, in the 2016 Matal v. Tam decision, the court stressed that this precise position “strikes at the heart of the First Amendment. Speech that demeans on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, or any other similar ground is hateful; but the proudest boast of our free speech jurisprudence is that we protect the freedom to express ‘the thought that we hate.'” ...

In her failed 2020 presidential bid, Harris ran on censorship . . ..

President Biden is the most anti-free speech president since John Adams. ...

Democrats now have arguably the most anti-free speech ticket of a major party in more than two centuries.

The naysayers will say Buffett was too early then, and now

 

Before becoming publisher of the Minneapolis Star Tribune just over a year ago, Steve Grove worked for . . . Tim Walz!

 

In April 2023, Steve Grove became the new publisher as Michael Klingensmith stepped down. Grove was the head of the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development under Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.^[45] He formerly worked as a reporter and a Google executive, leading the Google News Lab. Klingensmith has served as publisher since 2010.^[20]

Friday night news dump, when no one is paying attention: Harris-Walz campaign admits in a statement that Walz misspoke about using weapons in war

 He's been misspeaking for 18 years.

And like Harris, he's not being asked any questions and is letting an unknown person from "the campaign" do his speaking for him.

You'll never hear from him about his four other lies about his military service, and he will in future simply refer to this "clarification" about this one if he is ever asked in public in order to deflect from the others, and the press will say good enough and let him.

This is how the game is played, if you are a Democrat.

It's good to be a Democrat.

Meanwhile J. D. Vance never made any claims about "putting his life on the line", as if Walz did in Italy. Walz never made it past Italy. Vance was a USMC combat journalist in Iraq.

 

AS I SAID -- the editor

Kamala Harris' Arizona rally was not open to the public but was by invitation only, and still she got heckled by her Hamas wing

 

Lying dog-faced pony soldier

 

Tim Walz has lied for years about serving in Afghanistan, he's a total phony: He never served in-country anywhere, he was never in combat with a weapon of war, he retired to avoid deployment to Iraq with his unit, he said he didn't know he was being deployed but did, and was demoted from Command Sergeant Major as a result

Five fucking lies about his service.

He's an insult to the uniform.

His own press release in March 2005 quotes him saying it was his responsibility to deploy to Iraq with his unit.

When he found out they were deploying, his commanding officer is on the record saying he went around his command to retire.

Shall we add that he promised in 2018 a moderate "One Minnesota" governorship, but instead gave them a culture war, signing a bill providing for abortion up until the time of birth, legalized marijuana, gave drivers licenses to illegals, and made Minnesota a mecca for trannies?

He's a lying snake and always has been.

Boycott everything UK, in every way

 

JD Vance comes lookin' for Kamala Harris in Eau Claire, WI like he's Dennis The Menace lol

 

Weekend help has the rhythm, reports early for work at Drudge lol

 

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are a threat to the First Amendment

 

Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) may have been a social studies teacher, but he would have failed Constitutional Law 101, especially the part about the First Amendment.

“There’s no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech and especially around our democracy,” Walz said on MSNBC in December 2022, which would be news to the Supreme Court, which unanimously held as recently as 2017 that “speech that demeans on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, or any other similar ground” is still protected by the First Amendment.

Walz’s impulse to censor speech he does not like is most definitely shared by his running mate, Vice President Kamala Harris, who pushed for Twitter and Facebook to censor then-President Donald Trump even before the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. In Iowa, on Oct. 19, 2019, Harris told Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, “This is not a matter of free speech. … This is a matter of holding corporate America and these Big Tech companies responsible and accountable for what they are facilitating.”

Harris’s anti-free speech position was so extreme that even Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) pushed back, saying she wanted to kick Trump only out of the White House, not off social media. But politburo secretariat officer Kamala did not back down. “I’m calling on everyone to join me,” she said.

By 2019, Harris already had a well-established history of using government power to silence voices she does not like.

Read how she, oopsie, published the private data she collected as Attorney General of California online here.

She's a doxxer.

England's Big Brother has a message for King Keir Starmer's subjects, American patriots have an f-message of their own lol

 

Like Democrats generally Kamala Harris wants to ban assault weapons, even though they can't define them, ignoring that most weapons crimes are committed with handguns

Meanwhile, conservatives want children to read age-appropriate books.

There are no banned books in America, unless you are a commie librarian, but I repeat myself, who won't stock conservative books demanded by the public.

Like guns, we have to go buy our own.

 

Defeated Cori Bush epitomizes the anti-semitism of today's left, whose home is in the Democrat Party, but The Chicago Tribune would rather make it about unhinged rhetoric to make themselves sound bi-partisan

... her concession speech (if you could call it that) was wildly off-base. “All they did is radicalize me,”  a fuming Bush said of AIPAC. “So they need to be afraid.” ...

“AIPAC, I’m coming to tear your kingdom down,” she said. ...

Democrats often complain (justly) about unhinged rhetoric from Donald Trump and others on the Republican side with the capacity to incite unrest. In her pique, Bush was guilty of much the same thing.
