The Spectator P.M. Ep. 80: John Kerry Laments That First Amendment Is ‘Major Block’ to Stifling Speech

Former Secretary of State John Kerry made the Left’s disdain for the truth clear last week in comments he made at a World Economic Forum panel. During the panel, Kerry said that the First Amendment is a “major block” that prevents the government from being able to silence independent news outlets and conservatives on social media.

Kerry said, “Look, if people go to only one source, and the source they go to is sick, and has an agenda, and they’re putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to just hammer it out of existence.”

In this episode of The Spectator P.M. Podcast, hosts Ellie Gardey Holmes and Lyrah Margo discuss the importance of the First Amendment and how free speech is a right that cannot be taken away from Americans. They also discuss how Kerry’s comments are part of the Left’s continued efforts to suppress conservative media outlets, such as The American Spectator.
