Why Republicans should have joined Massie⁩ in voting against the antisemitism resolution

If they cared about free speech, every Republican should have joined ⁦@RepThomasMassie⁩ in voting against this resolution. His vote had nothing to do with hate, and everything to do with keeping the federal government out of our personal lives. https://t.co/Hj7I2rcdE5

From my latest at BASEDPolitics, “On Wednesday, Republican Congressman Thomas Massie was the only member of the House to vote ‘no’ on a resolution that condemned rising antisemitism.

His vote had nothing to do with tolerating hate. This didn’t stop many from instantly and eagerly jumping to this conclusion…

Massie voted against this resolution for reasons similar to why he has tried to repeal the Patriot Act in the past: It could violate Americans’ basic liberties.

The bill asks that social media ‘institute stronger and more significant efforts to measure and address online antisemitism while protecting free speech concerns.’ Politicians dictating to social media and other platforms how to operate is a problem for anyone who still cares about free speech.”
