Woke-infested Democrats are desperately trying to clamp down on X, the social media platform that continues to allow free speech without censorship or suppression. Leading this war against the First Amendment is none other than Hillary Clinton, notorious for her role in propagating the fake Russian collusion story and silencing critics.
In a recent interview with CNN’s Michael Smerconish, Clinton didn’t mince her words when she issued a threat that if social media companies don’t begin censoring content, “we lose total control.” Clinton elaborated, “It’s not just the social and psychological effects, it’s real harm.” Her remarks suggest that, in her view, the free exchange of ideas poses a danger, a stance that runs counter to the fundamental principles of the First Amendment.
Her calls for stricter censorship and a repeal of Section 230, which protects social media platforms from liability for third-party content, are part of the broader Democrat agenda to stifle free speech. “We should be, in my view, repealing something called Section 230,” she declared. Clinton believes that without government-enforced moderation, platforms like X, Facebook, and TikTok will allow ‘harmful’ content to flourish unchecked.
Clinton’s disdain for free speech echoes the rhetoric of John Kerry, who recently lamented, “It’s really hard to govern today. The referees we used to have to determine what’s a fact and what isn’t a fact have been eviscerated.” Kerry, like Clinton, longs for the days when the media could filter information and manipulate public opinion without the pesky interference of alternative viewpoints. “People go and they self-select where they go for their news and their information,” Kerry complained, further revealing the Democrats’ discomfort with the decentralization of information in the digital age.
Clinton even lauded California and New York for their efforts to regulate social media at the state level but lamented, “We need national action.” To her, the ability of platforms like X to operate without federal oversight is a dangerous threat. “If the platforms don’t moderate and monitor the content, we lose total control,” she emphasized, showing her true motive: to silence dissenting voices and maintain dominance over the narrative.
Clinton has been hell-bent on stifling free speech since Day 1. During her failed 2016 presidential run, she referred to Trump supporters as a “basket of deplorables,” and now she seeks to limit their ability to share their views online. More recently, she suggested that Americans accused of spreading so-called “propaganda” in favor of former President Trump should face civil or even criminal charges.
However, platforms like X, under the leadership of Elon Musk, have refused to bow to these authoritarian demands. Musk has been vocal about defending free speech, warning recently, “The Democratic Party is openly stating that they want to change the Constitution to end free speech!” This commitment to preserving the First Amendment has made X a target for Democrats eager to regain control of the digital space.
The push for censorship is not just about curbing hate speech or protecting children, as Clinton would have you believe. It’s about silencing opposition, suppressing inconvenient truths, and controlling the flow of information. As long as platforms like X continue to provide a venue for free speech, Clinton and her allies will face a “long and difficult road” in their quest for total control.
