On Wednesday, following an astronomical new judgment against InfoWars webcaster Alex Jones in a civil trial in Connecticut, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) took to Twitter to rage against the decision, suggesting that the trial is a violation of his First Amendment rights.
"No matter what you think of Alex Jones all he did was speak words," wrote Greene, in a tweet linking to a far-right website denouncing the decision. "He was not the one who pulled the trigger. Were his words wrong and did he apologize? Yes. That's what freedom of speech is. Freedom to speak words. Political persecution must end."
