Tulsi Gabbard Breaks With Trump in MAGA Free Speech Rebellion
“Free speech is the foundation of our democratic republic. We must protect it at all costs, because without it, we’ll be lost. Charlie knew this. He lived it,” she told mourners at his memorial in Arizona on Sunday.
The comments were viewed by some observers as an implicit rebuke to Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr and other administration officials who have publicly threatened punitive steps to crack down on free speech in the wake of Kirk’s death.
Trump himself last week suggested the FCC should revoke the licenses of broadcast TV stations that he said are “against” him, telling reporters: “They give me only bad publicity [and] press. I mean, they’re getting a license. I would think maybe their license should be taken away.”
