By the way, even people who agree with Trump on policies, there have been a lot of presidents in our country's history, FDR, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, Obama.

Well, in censorship, I have a particularly strong record.
When people say, what makes you a different kind of Democrat?
I say free speech.
And all these people who got outraged when Jimmy Kimmel was pulled down were silent often when Twitter was censoring The New York Post with Hunter Biden's laptop stories.
And as you may remember,
You've been very consistent.
My email leaked where I said that, no, you shouldn't be pulling down that story and you shouldn't be having The New York Post take that down.
And then I got criticized for my own side, even though I'm one of the strongest defenders of trans rights.
And we may have disagreements over my stances because I said that comedian who was arrested at Heathrow Airport for a transphobic post should not be arrested.
That you should not be arrested for that.
I got criticized from from the left.
So my point is, then when I speak out and say, OK, Jimmy Kimmel shouldn't be pulled down and we shouldn't be canceling speech or going after left wing groups.
