Ted Lieu has the best words!

Ted Lieu
@tedlieu

US House candidate, CA-33
Dear
@realDonaldTrump
: The First Amendment stops the government—that’s you—from interfering with free speech. That means you can’t stop
@Twitter
from fact checking your false tweets.

And the fact that we’re reading your excrement on Twitter shows it is not stifling your speech.

But alas, I am but dreaming. The mainstream media is as conservative as it gets.

Free speech to him means he can say anything , including threats, but you can't because you aren't above the law like he thinks he is. He has a long history of whining and claiming he's the victim. That's what he's doing with China, and the virus, and soon the election when he loses he'll claim it was corrupt while he was trying to corrupt it. Accusing people on Social media without factual evidence is wrong , and maybe when he's ousted lawsuits are in order making him pay for his actions. He always claims to be the victim, while he's victimizing others. Nothing new.
