Ro Khanna

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.

There is at least some credibility because I'm willing to say, look, our side is engaged in that kind of censorship as well.

And it's wrong when either side has it.

And I think our side would have a lot more credibility in going after Trump, even if they didn't do it back then, if we just acknowledged that we've got this speech problem on our side.

It's easy to be for free speech when it's speech you like.

It's hard to be for free speech.

The test is not, will you stand up for it when you like it?

It's, will you stand up for it when you don't like it?

Okay, now do welfare.

Yeah, look, I don't want to relitigate Trump's action.

I do think he did certain things like January 6 others that were blatantly illegal and unconstitutional.

But I will say this, that whoever going forward for the party should be make a firm commitment

that they're going to follow the law and not engage in vengeance and not engage in retribution.

And it's sad to me that that that we've gotten to this state.

I understand Trump feels like, OK, he won a second term.

He was spared from assassination.

He had everyone against them.

And he's going to get the people who he he feels he was wronged by.

but it's a it's a horrible thing uh for the country and we've gotta we've gotta make make it clear that that we're gonna move past this chapter not that okay now we're gonna uh democrats are gonna come in and we're gonna go after uh everyone on their side i mean then we're no different than any other country jumping off tangentially from lawfare let's talk about crime for a second you know you described your self-described progressive democrat
