Sen. Ted Cruz: ‘The First Amendment Isn’t Just About Popular Speech’

EXCERPT:

CRUZ: "The First Amendment is an incredible blessing, which protects the rights of everyone to speak your mind. And the First Amendment isn’t just about popular speech. The First Amendment is about unpopular speech as well. That’s what it was created for. You don’t need the First Amendment if nobody is offended at what you’re saying, if nobody is unhappy with what you’re saying. The First Amendment protection doesn’t do anything then. It’s only when someone says, 'I’m offended. I don’t like that, I want to silence you.'”
