On his first day in office, President Donald Trump signed executive orders to stop and prevent federal government employees and agencies from censoring constitutionally-protected speech, including blocking the kind of collusion that existed between the Biden administration and Big Tech platforms.
Free speech is front and center in the new administration, as Trump signed an executive order protecting free speech and blocking federal censorship efforts live in his presidential parade at Capitol One Arena. Trump later suspended the security clearances of the 51 “spies who lied,” the intelligence officials whose false 2020 claim that the Hunter Biden laptop scandal was Russian disinformation served as an excuse for Big Tech to crush the story.
MRC Founder and President L. Brent Bozell posted, “Donald Trump is THE free speech president. It is shocking we need an executive order telling the government to stop violating the First Amendment. This executive order is a great step towards protecting free speech, but Congress needs to step up and make these changes permanent - specifically when it comes to holding government censors accountable and preventing taxpayer money from going to groups that censor Americans.”
