Trump Fan Attacks CNN When Shown Trump’s Stunning Boast ‘We Took The Freedom of Speech Away’​

It's just tongue in cheek says Lyman. Does taking away the first amendment sound like tongue in cheek coming from trump?

Trump defender and Federalist reporter Brianna Lyman lashed out at CNN when anchor Abby Phillip showed her a clip of President Donald Trump announcing “We took the freedom of speech away” — a clip Lyman admitted she hadn’t seen.

Trump made the stunning declaration at a White House event devoted to his campaign against “Antifa”:

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: We took the freedom of speech away because that’s been through the courts and the court said you have freedom of speech but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds, they’ve never seen anything like it on both sides and you end up with riots.

So we’re going on that basis. We’re looking at it from not — from the freedom of speech, which I always felt strongly about, but never passed the courts. This is what they do is they incite. When you burn an American flag, you incite tremendous violence.

Notice how trump is justifying the violence from the right and his ice goons. The left made us act like assholes because they use words against us.

Maga is too duped to care.

Maga is like: "I got what I want and I don't care about anything else."

I see what you did there.

It's a joke or he's not serious until he actually does it.

He's made it clear he means what he says. Just because it's extreme and unhinged doesn't mean he doesn't mean it.

Who pressured social media outlets to censor opponents during the Biden administration? The Biden White House and the Biden FBI. Did you find that to be a problem. Somehow I bet yuou didn't.
One sided BS from the lefties. It's why your party is in chaos, that and voting to shut down the government.

Social media outlets asked the government for help in moderating disinformation. It began under Trump.

How about, "we don't care as much about what Trump says, as what he does. Because the democrats have ruined this nation and are standing in the way of cleaning up the mess they created."

Well, you found it to be a problem, so by equating the two as equal, that means you would also find this a problem like you did with Biden.

What aboutism eager compliance. You state Biden did it like it means something to point out as a point of hypocrisy, which equates what Biden did to what Trump is doing, and if you had a problem with it then and not now, that makes you the hypocrite in this sentence.

He's got his base so confused they don't know what he really means.

And it doesn't help they were already confused before he even came into office.
