This week, yet another politician appeared to get the First Amendment woefully wrong—this time Senate majority whip Sen. Dick Durbin (D–Ill.).
On Tuesday, Sen. Durbin took to Twitter to complain about Elon Musk's recent takeover of the site, writing, "In the days since Musk took Twitter private, the platform has seen an uptick in hate speech, and Musk himself used the platform and his influence to spread a baseless conspiracy theory about a violent attack on an elected official's family member." Durbin continued, "free speech does not include spreading misinformation to downplay political violence."
