8/ For example, imagine I owned a restaurant. I would not tolerate a drunken patron who wanted to sing a song of tribute to @TuckerCarlson in honor of his brave support of Putin. I wouldn’t tolerate him because he is disruptive and bothering customers. In other words, standards — PolitiTweet.org

7/ pray, dissent and inform under any circumstances, forever. This means I must defend the rights of Abhorrent people in evil organizations to speak. It is what protects American freedom. Standards of conduct are different than the concepts and realities of Free Speech. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

6/ What is free speech? What are the limits? Where are the boundaries? This has been a rolling and evolving issue over our history. It has changed over time. I am a free speech absolutist because I am completely opposed to GOVERNMENT restricting who can think, sing, talk — PolitiTweet.org

5/ Free Speech was tested in Skokie Illinois when Nazis demanded to March in an overwhelmingly Jewish town filled with Holocaust survivors. The Nazis were represented by a Jewish lawyer from the ACLU who asserted their First Amendment rights. — PolitiTweet.org

4/ He did not. He posted a guard at the front door of the presses and protected Rivington from revenge. During the censorship regime of the First World War it was illegal to write an article that offended the “dignity of the President” — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

3/ Free Speech has been tested from the very beginning of the Republic. James Rivington was a Loyalist News Paper publisher who routinely lied and smeared George Washington. What did George Washington do about this when the war was won and he entered NYC? Did he hang him ? — PolitiTweet.org

Here is a short thread about Free Speech. There are no other freedoms absent the freedom of speech which is inexorably linked to freedom of thought, expression and religion. Freedom of Speech is protected by the FIRST Amendment to the United States Constitution. — PolitiTweet.org

@Dove @p_k_graphics Is there a way to post the video so it just appears ? — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

is a genius. Putin is a criminal and a monster. @TimRyan understands that Freedom must be defended in Ukraine. He understands the Ukrainian people carry the burden for all free people. What Tim Ryan said matters. Listen and spread. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

Please watch the thunderous words of @TimRyan speech from the Floor of the US House of Representatives. Tim’s stunning opening of John Kennedy’s words have reached Ukraine @mariashriver @JFKLibrary @ZelenskyyUa @visegrad24 @KyivIndependent. Some sick Americans have said Putin — PolitiTweet.org

11/ extremist. Of course, this makes @TimRyan Luke Skywalker. He’s a good guy. @MarkHamill America needs her good people to win important elections. Help @TimRyan raise the money to fight back against what is coming from @JDVance1 and his Silicon sugar daddies. Ohio Matters. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

10/ The American “Creature Cantina,” which is overflowing with all manner of weirdness, perfidy, corruption, ignorance, idiocy and extremism is the fetid dwelling of @jdjdvance. He is a particularly odious fraud in the same way he is a particularly dangerous demagogue and — PolitiTweet.org

9/ Their politics is the philosophy of the wrecking ball and they don’t care about the people they serve. In fact, they want to punish and hurt up to half of them. It is sick, dangerous and profoundly stupid for all the rest of us to allow it to continue. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

8/.@mattgaetz, @laurenboebert @MoBrooks @RepMTG and the whole rotten and corrupt “ Creature Cantina” of the American Extremist Movement” These people want to tear down our inheritance and everything that ten generations of the American people have built. They aren’t builders. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

7/ He wants pay back. He wants those people who didn’t tell him he was special to feel his power as a UNITED STATES SENATOR. He wants to go to Washington and join the Vandalism squad of @tedcruz, @GOPLeader @EliseStefanik @HawleyMO — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

6/ the rooms he was desperate to enter. Ultimately led by anger, resentment, money and grievance, he found his way to an angry ideology and philosophy that is bathed in venom and dripping with malice. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

5/wasn’t good enough. He wanted adulation and he thought that would give him self respect. He thought praise and attention fueled dignity. It doesn’t. He was famous because he didn’t know what utensil to pick up and he hated the condescension and the way people looked at him in — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

4/ people they couldn’t give him because they couldn’t hear the voice in his head. The one that that told him he wasn’t good enough. What he wanted to hear was that he was as good as everyone standing in the room with him. He wanted to be told he was special. Being successful — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

3/ what utensil to pick up. He was embarrassed and always feels embarrassed when he was in the room with the “elites” whose approval he so desperately craved. He loved the panels in Silicon Valley. He wore the uniform and worked the Green Room. He wanted something from those — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

2/an early apostle of. There are a couple of things to remember about @JDVance1. Everyone wants to be seen. I see @JDVance1 fully. He is very angry. He feels humiliated. He feels out of place in every room. He is defined by the incident he relayed in his book about not knowing — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

1/ .@JDVance1 was comparing Trump to Hitler in 2016. For perspective, I was calling Trump a “dime store Mussolini” in 2016. Today, everyone should read @jhensonpogue and @VanityFair’s 2022 political story of the year about the American Fascist movement that Vance is — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

Let’s be honest, I’m not surprised they were my fellow Americans. The inability to fix stupid is a shared Human phenomenon that has endured through the ages. I’m just surprised there wasn’t a GQP Congressman involved. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

.@RonDeSantisFL, a tanner and slightly more pugnacious version of @ScottWalker, has embraced punishment as an ideology. @JDVance1 wants to take it to the next level. None of this crap 💩 has any place in this country. It is profoundly un American. This is how Orban runs Hungary — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

The idea of PUNISHING your POLITICAL OPPONENTS has spread to PUNISHMENT for BUSINESSES from the lemonade stand to the biggest companies in the world for EXPRESSING their VALUES which is their AMERICAN RIGHT. PERIOD. This PUNISHMENT and SILENCING is THUGGERY mixed with FASCISM — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

The Michigan GOP is a hive of extremism, malice, conspiracy theories, insanity, derangement and UN American lunacy. It is forwarding candidates into a November General Election that are unfit and unworthy of any position of public trust. Good for Tony Daunt. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

When we listen it is amazing what we can hear. This campaign by ⁦@Dove⁩ is an exceptional public service. #detoxyourfeed. In an era of so much corporate jargon and nonsense this is real and it deserves praise. It is a must watch for parents https://t.co/HN19fD2zbR — PolitiTweet.org
