- 🎯 Representative Clay Higgins co-sponsored HR 140, the 'Protecting Speech from Government Interference Act,' in 2023, which aimed to prevent government employees from censoring lawful speech or advocating for third-party censorship.
- ⚠️ Higgins has since taken a complete 180-degree turn, vowing to use Congressional authority and influence with big tech platforms to mandate lifetime bans for posts or comments that belittle the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Higgins' Letter to Tech CEOs
- ✉️ On September 15, Higgins sent a letter to CEOs of major tech platforms including Meta, YouTube, X, and TikTok.
- ⚖️ In the letter, he stated that 'reasonable restriction of public statements that lie far beyond the standards of our own society is not an oppression of free speech, it is, rather, the protection of free speech.'
Accusations of Hypocrisy
- 🎭 The video argues that Higgins' actions contradict his previous stance on free speech, labeling him a hypocrite.
- 🗣️ It is pointed out that by his own logic, Higgins should be banned from social media for life, citing an instance where he belittled Nancy Pelosi and her husband after their violent attack, spreading false conspiracies.
- 🚩 Higgins is accused of using the murder of Charlie Kirk to fuel a quest to silence those who disagree with him, which the video asserts is inappropriate, illegal, and unconstitutional.
Call for Better Representation
- 🇺🇸 The video concludes by stating that the people of Louisiana and the American people deserve better representation than what is offered by Higgins.
