It was part of a longer interview with the leftist MSNBC a year ago.

The Constitution and the court precedents it has inspired, in fact, do not allow for censorship of speech that someone considers “hate” or speech that someone considers “misinformation.”

Speech that is restricted is that which would threaten or inspire or call for violence.

The full interview:

A large part of the problem is that leftists have demanded that it is their opinion about what constitutes hate speech or misinformation or disinformation or malinformation that must be the controlling standard, when in fact their definitions are nothing more than their own opinions about speech.

Online commenters quickly corrected the Democrat:

“He’s wrong. The First Amendment is precisely to protect unpopular speech.”

“Look I’m no constitution expert but…uh…yes there IS a guarantee to free speech on those things. Very much so. Walz is terrifying.”

“‘You have full freedom of speech, as long as you stick to the approved topics and opinions.’ I… don’t think that’s how it works.”
