Re: Trump 2016
Why does Trump hate the First Amendment?
During the campaign, Trump went on about how he desired to restrict free press rights to allow journalists to be sued for publishing "nasty" things about him.
Last night, Trump tweeted:
"""Nobody should be allowed to burn the American flag - if they do, there must be consequences - perhaps loss of citizenship or year in jail!"""
Let's imagine for a moment if obama had openly discussed restricting freedom of the press, then, after winning the election, tweeted about punishing people who exercised their free speech rights.
Conservatives, and Trumpsters, would be outraged! 0 would be creating another revolution thread. DB would be ranting on about obama being a dictator.
But obama didn't do this, Trump did. Yet, I haven't read a word from DB or 0 condemning it. I remember DB claimed he would speak out when Trump was wrong, so by his silence on these statements, are we to assume DB agrees that the free press and free speech (the First Amendment in general) should be restricted or repealed?
