McEnany ends her first press briefing in weeks by telling CNN's @kaitlancollins: "I don't call on activists." (She'd just called on @ChanelRion.)

Collins replied: "That's not doing your job, your taxpayer-funded job."

Free Speech, Sedition, and Treason

In order to get a conviction for seditious conspiracy, the government must prove that the defendant in fact conspired to use force. Simply advocating for the use of force is not the same thing and in most cases is protected as free speech under the First Amendment. For example, two or more people who give public speeches suggesting the need for a total revolution "by any means necessary" have not necessarily conspired to overthrow the government. Rather, they're just sharing their opinions, however unsavory. But actively planning such an action (distributing guns, working out the logistics of an attack, actively opposing lawful authority, etc.) could be considered a seditious conspiracy.

Ultimately, the goal is to prevent threats against the United States while protecting individuals' First Amendment rights, which isn't always such a clear distinction.

These kinds of things are notoriously difficult to prosecute, it's unlikely to be taken up at all, would take forever to happen if it did, and would be overwhelmingly likely to fail.

STILL - this IS the very kind of thing they need to have thrown in their face. They are engaging in un-patriotic, unconstitutional, absolutely amoral and likely in some way illegal behavior.

5. I think it's a great question because they know she can't answer it.

6. Why? You're an activist, McEnany

The entire clan is a closed-set fascist group that uses its own facts (aka non-facts) to argue their case.

The activists are simply projecting, as they're wont to do.

9. If they didn't use their non-facts or 'alternative facts' then their whole house of cards collapses.

Because the tRUMPian/Republican Policies are all complete and total failures that have been proven to be only repeated failures for decades. tRUMP and Republicans literally have nothing else to stand for, other than their alternate reality that they keep trying to make everyone believe is actually the real world. Meanwhile tRUMP and Republicans only leave destruction, decay, and disease on everything they place their greedy selfish paws on.
