They didn't pass the First Amendment to protect speech that everybody likes. They passed it to protect the speech that's inconvenient, that's abhorrent, that nobody wants to hear, that's dangerous. That is the price of democracy.

RFK Jr. blasts Governor Walz for not understanding the first amendment: “We’re in a very frightening time now where we are seeing the normalization of censorship. I saw this quote Governor Walz, said last year where he said that the First Amendment is not absolute, that it does not protect misinformation or disinformation, and he is legally wrong there, it does protect that. The First Amendment protects speech, true speech, and it protects lies. It protects good speech, and it protects bad speech. It protects all speech.” They didn't pass the First Amendment to protect speech that everybody likes. They passed it to protect the speech that's inconvenient, that's abhorrent, that nobody wants to hear, that's dangerous.” “Louis Brandeis said that the remedy for bad speech, the remedy for lies is not censorship, it's more speech. If we don't understand that, we will lose democracy for sure.”

The first amendment does not exist to protect polite speech that everyone agrees with. It exists to protect speech that people - or the government - find “offensive.” That’s the whole point. And that protection extends to Shiloh Hendrix.

BREAKING: Jack Smith just eviscerated the Republican talking point that Trump was protected by the First Amendment when he attempted to defraud the American people. “The First Amendment does not protect speech that facilitates a crime. Speech that is used to facilitate a crime — a fraud crime in particular — is not protected under the First Amendment. The Supreme Court precedent on that is clear.”

The Constitution draws the line clearly: Protect free speech. Protect religious liberty. Prosecute those who fund and support terrorism. The Muslim Brotherhood is not a peaceful religious organization. The First Amendment is not a license to finance murder.

Charlie Kirk's tragic assassination has sparked a discussion about hate speech and the 1st amendment: Cenk Uygur: "So what? He said terrible things about MLK. Ok so Charlie doesn't like him and said bad things, so what? I can't understand why people then say 'We have to shut it down' Did you think that people were only going to say pleasant things throughout your entire life? Did you think that people were only going to say things you agree with and that you find to be comfortable? No, the whole point of the first amendment is sometimes we're going to make each other uncomfortable. It doesn't protect popular speech, it protects unpopular speech." Tara Palmeri: "Even offensive speech." Cenk Uygur: "The whole point of the 1st amendment is not to protect speech about how cute puppies and babies are. The point of the first amendment is to protect offensive speech. The people who take most offensive generally speaking in society are the powerful." There is nothing more American than offensive speech.

The First Amendment protects hateful speech. But that protection does not mean that others are absolved of the moral obligation to confront it with the truth.

In America, we have founding principles that protect and guarantee free speech, open dialogue, free press, and access to that speech without undue barriers. Our leaders should not lament that—they should celebrate it and fight to protect it.
