I admire your desire for the private sector to do what\u2019s right. We do hope that\u2019s the case, but I do think there\u2019s a role for government consistent with our First Amendment. For us establishing parameters, if you espouse hate, if you espouse violence, you&#8217;re not protected under the First Amendment,&#8221; Cardin said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He added, &#8220;I think we can be more aggressive in the way that we handle that type of use of the internet. We know that Europe has done things, I think we have to learn things from each other.

But this shouldn\u2019t be surprising since a core plank of the Dem Party &#8211; not an ancillary one but a core &#8211; is state greater censorship of online political speech.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Incorrect,&#8221; National Review journalist Claude Thompson responded.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, it&#8217;s a good thing we can all agree on what &#8216;espousing hate&#8217; and \u2018espousing violence&#8217; look like!&#8221; Pluribus editor Jeryl Bier joked.<\/p>\n<p>Attorney Casey Mattox tweeted, &#8220;The First Amendment doesn&#8217;t protect political misinformation online. Senator Cardin should be arrested for violating the Lanham Act&#8217;s prohibition on RICOs.
