James Talarico on Free Speech: If Wealthy and Powerful People Can Collude to Take Down What We Say, They Will ‘Come for All of Us, Eventually’

‘We all have to come together to protect those freedoms’

RUSH EXCERPT:
TALARICO: "Absolutely. All of the freedoms enshrined in our constitution, particularly in our First Amendment, are sacred, whether it’s the freedom to worship, the freedom to assemble, the freedom to speak your mind and your heart, and we all have to come together to protect those freedoms, a threat to any of our First Amendment rights is a threat to all of our First Amendment rights. If the most wealthy people, like those corporate media executives, or the most powerful people like the president of the United States and and his regulators, if all those people can collude to take down what any of us say, they’re going to come for all of us eventually, regardless of your party or your ideology or your beliefs. So it’s something that we all have to come together across all these divisions to defend together. And and I hope that’s what you’re starting to see in the wake of this tragedy and the wake of this cancel culture this week."
