Dem Senator Suggests “Free Speech” Doesn’t Include Right to Question Paul Pelosi Attack
Challenging Democrat narratives is “misinformation.”
Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) has suggested that “free speech” doesn’t include the right to ask questions about the circumstances surrounding the attack on Paul Pelosi.
“Free speech does not include spreading misinformation to downplay political violence,” tweeted Durbin, a clear reference to last week’s hammer attack on Pelosi, which sparked skepticism from numerous prominent conservatives.
“In the days since Musk took Twitter private, the platform has seen an uptick in hate speech, and Musk himself used the platform and his influence to spread a baseless conspiracy theory about a violent attack on an elected official’s family member,” added Durbin.

With authorities still refusing to release the police bodycam footage, questions continue to swirl about how the suspect, David Depape, was able to enter the residence given that the Pelosi residence is well known for being surrounded by heavy security.
Questions over why Pelosi reportedly referred to Depape as a “friend” and other alleged anomalies have also been dismissed as ‘conspiracy theories’ by Democrats, who wasted no time in exploiting the attack to bolster their mid-term elections narrative that ‘MAGA’ Republicans represent a violent threat to democracy.
There seems to be an incredible correlation between what Durbin calls “misinformation” and challenging any Democratic narrative that demonizes Republicans as violent hatemongers.
Indeed, hysteria surrounding “misinformation” has been weaponized on numerous occasions to bury truthful statements about events, including the likely Wuhan lab origin of COVID-19, as well as the fake MAGA attack on Jussie Smollett, which Democrats also once insisted it was beyond the pale to question.
Durbin and other Democratic lawmakers calling for more social media censorship is even more alarming given revelations that emerged this week concerning the U.S. government working directly with Big Tech to clamp down on free speech.
A trove of documents obtained by The Intercept thanks to a Freedom of Information Act request revealed that Facebook had a direct portal that Department of Homeland Security agents could use to flag content they wanted censored.
The government and Big Tech platforms also had regular meetings during which the two parties reached a consensus on what information to censor.

Rand Paul: Elon Musk Will Go Down As A Historic Champion For Free Speech
“Somewhere along the way something happened and people began to think that only certain forms of speech were acceptable.”
Senator Rand Paul praised Elon Musk Wednesday for standing up for free speech, predicting that the Twitter owner will be recorded as a key figure in history in the fight against censorship.
Referring to Musk’s compelling take down of a CNBC hack earlier this week, Paul noted “Thank God for someone who can still speak their mind and won’t take some guff off a journalist who tells him he can’t speak his mind.”
“Somewhere along the way something happened and people began to think that only certain forms of speech were acceptable,” The Senator urged.
“Then along came Elon Musk,” Paul continued, adding “The country, the Bill of Rights frankly, all of us, are going to be very thankful that a guy with a lot of money bought a social media entity and allowed us to see the government colluding to limit speech.”
“People need to get this right. Private companies can decide what they want to air, newspapers can, television shows can. But what we cannot allow to happen is the government to collude with private business and use them basically as their extension and their arm of censor,” Paul emphasised.
He added that “Elon Musk exposed this only because he had 44 billion dollars to buy a company and expose their inner workings off collusion with government.”
