Over 30,000 documented lies told by this president in the last 4 years reinforced by talk show hosts, fake news channels, members of Congress and, most recently, by the conspiracy theory mind control group known as Q cannot be ignored.
Their relentless lies laid bare a side of the First Amendment that has not likely been contemplated at length before now.
The Capitol siege and attempted overthrow of our government was the direct result, not of protected free speech but, rather, lies and propaganda protected by the same Constitutional guarantee.
If this issue is not addressed the country remains vulnerable to a repeat of Wednesday's events. Next time we may not be so fortunate.
