Rand Paul: ‘History will actually record' Musk's free speech courage to 'reveal inconvenient truths' READ:
“I think history will actually record that,” Paul told Jesse Watters Primetime. “You know, back in the 1950s, and ’60s, and ‘70s, that ACLU, the Left, NAACP were great defenders of free speech and the First Amendment. And then, somewhere along the way, something happened, and people began to think that there was only certain types of speech that were acceptable. And then along came Elon Musk.
Paul also pointed to the release of the “Twitter Files” that showed social media collusion with the federal government to censor information and news stories. “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 an entity, a social media, you know, entity, Twitter, and allowed us to see what was going on with the government colluding to limit speech,” Paul said.
“What we can’t allow to happen is the government to collude with private business and use them basically as their extension or their arm of censor,” Paul continued. “I have a bill that would actually stop this. I have a bill that would say no one in the government can collude with anybody in the media to limit constitutionally protected speech.
“We won’t have a waiver,” Paul said of phony national security threat claims that could hinder free speech. “We will simply define it as constitutionally protected speech.”
