“Donald Trump promised to ‘restore free speech’ in his Madison Square Garden rally in New York City on Sunday. The trouble is, the Republican presidential nominee also pledged to restrict people’s free-speech rights in the very same address. ‘I would like to put forward a bill …,’ he told the crowd. ‘If you burn the American flag, one year in jail!’ So, within moments of presenting himself as a defender of free speech, Trump promptly announced his intention to lock people up for expressing themselves. Because that is what flag-burning is – a form of political speech.” (10/29/24)
