Episode 15: Why Free Speech Is Essential to the Republic
The gruesome assassination of conservative Charlie Kirk yesterday is without precedent. Kirk was murdered in broad daylight merely for speaking his mind. Scores of his political opponents took to social media to cheer his untimely death, another sign of a culture that rejects the basic principles of the First Amendment.
Free speech is not an incidental right to the republic. The United States of America cannot survive as a free nation without the First Amendment right to free speech, which carries an obligation to tolerate language we disagree with. Speech is not violence. People whose views we disagree with are not fascists.
