\u201cI will also sign an executive order to immediately stop all government censorship and bring back free speech to America. Never again will the immense power of the state be weaponized to persecute political opponents. Jimmy Kimmel was fired because he had bad ratings more than anything else, and he said a horrible thing about a great gentleman known as Charlie Kirk. And Jimmy Kimmel is not a talented person. He had very bad ratings and they should have fired him a long time ago. So you can call that free speech or not. He was fired for lack of talent.\u201d \u201cWe have to ask ourselves the questions, as leaders, are we willing to defend people even if we disagree with what they say? If you\u2019re not willing to do that, I don\u2019t think you\u2019re fit to lead Europe or the United States. There is a new sheriff in town, and under Donald Trump\u2019s leadership, we may disagree with your views, but we will fight to defend your right to offer it in the public square, agree or disagree. So when you see someone celebrating Charlie\u2019s murder, call them out, and hell, call their employer.\u201d \u201cI want you to think for a minute about the decades of abuse that has been heaped upon the good people of this nation. A political system that punishes hard-working citizens, oppresses them at every turn, takes away their right to free speech, the right to political expression, the right to fundamental safety in their own country. To all of the domestic terrorists in this country spreading this evil hate, the power of law enforcement under President Trump\u2019s leadership will be used to find you, we\u2019ll use to take away your money, take away your power. And if you\u2019ve broken the law, to take away your freedom.\u201d \u201cUnder what circumstances will you prosecute journalists for what they write?\u201d \u201cI believe in the freedom of speech. Only if anyone commits a crime. We will absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech, anything \u2014 and that\u2019s across the aisle. It\u2019s not free speech. when you come out and you say, it\u2019s OK what happened to Charlie \u2014 we\u2019re firing people. We\u2019re seeing people online who are posting hate speech. They should be shut down.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
