“While Kennedy is undoubtedly saying some things that resonate about free speech and government overreach, he has no actual credibility on these issues—because, as Matt Welch first pointed out in a fantastic piece for Reason, he has a long track record of advocating for unhinged and brazen acts of censorship. … He even lamented the fact that politicians who deny climate change couldn’t be jailed, saying, ‘They are contemptible human beings. I wish there were a law you could punish them with.’ … Kennedy wants to target CEOs for imprisonment and punitively revoke the corporate/nonprofit status of businesses and organizations that advocate ideas he thinks are wrong. … What’s more, Kennedy has publicly listed the ideological nonprofits who he thinks the government should bankrupt (by revoking their nonprofit status), as a retaliatory consequence of their espousals of ideas and views with which he disagrees.” (05/17/23)
