DeSantis invited James O'Keefe and Project Veritas to signing of anti-tech bill

[JoanofArgh]

Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday invited serial conservative hoaxster James O'Keefe as a guest for the signing of a bill targeting technology companies.

O'Keefe has spent over a decade through his group Project Veritas attacking Democrats, media organizations, and progressives, often utilizing videos that have been deceptively edited, removing crucial context.

The new legislation signed by DeSantis will impose fines on companies for banning political candidates, either locally or statewide, even if the candidates violate the companies' terms of service, promote disinformation, or incite violence, just as Donald Trump did before he was permanently banned from Twitter in January.

The law is expected by legal experts to face court challenges for violating First Amendment protections for speech. DeSantis name-checked O'Keefe, who was positioned behind the governor for the entirety of the speech and signing ceremony, to loud applause from supporters in the audience.

7. Justice Clarence Thomas' Wife Ginni ThomGave an Award to Project Veritas' James O'Keefe

how the ever loving fudge is this okay?

“Honorees are making notable contributions to preserving America’s liberties with their life work,” reads a description of the award

Thomas presented United in Purpose “Impact” awards to O’Keefe, Gaffney, and Sean Hannity in 2017. In 2016, TPM reported that Thomas “wanted to ‘target’ the ‘most questionable’ precincts in Virginia with an anti-voter fraud campaign.”

11. They are making it quite clear what their priorities are

Pretty strange way to govern if you ask me, which nobody does

[Takket]

12. that law won't survive 3 seconds in a court room

[JoanofArgh]

15. It's performative assholery to excite their base. Republicans don't actually

govern anymore.

[Renew Deal]

13. There is no way that kind of law survives court.

It's a government intrusion by the anti-freedom party.
