Alexander Vindman Is The Dopey Hack We All Thought He Was
[THEFEDERALIST] Alexander Vindman, the retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel who helped plot the botched impeachment of former President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
in what amounted to a failed coup attempt, thinks Tucker Carlson should be "censured" for saying things Vindman doesn’t like about the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Lt. Col (Ret.) Sausage said something? Meh
In a tweet Thursday responding to a trailer Carlson posted for his new documentary, "Patriot Purge," Vindman asked, idiotically, "How is this different than yelling fire in a crowded theater? Carlson is attempting to incite a riotous mob. He should be censured. I’d like to hear the arguments for/against this being protected speech."

Well since you asked, the argument for Carlson’s documentary being protected speech is right there in the Bill of Rights, on the first page, where it says Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech or of the press. That includes reporting and commentary that some people, even disgraced former Army officers who try to remove duly elected presidents, disagree with.

#2 Flounder needs remedial civics. Censure is a disciplinary process brought against an elected official.

He has in mind censoring, which is the business of the bearded kook who runs Twitter, YouTube's Nazis and The Police State Formerly Known as Facebook, now known as Meta[mucil]
