 Chuck Todd: GOP using First Amendment to ‘appease the white supremacist movement’
by Dominick Mastrangelo - 05/17/22 2:22 PM ET

NBC political director and host of “Meet The Press” Chuck Todd said Tuesday that leading Republicans are using First Amendment protections to “appease” white supremacists in America.

“Look at the way the right try to weaponize the idea that DHS was going to essentially try to attempt to monitor hateful rhetoric. They want to make it seem likes it’s some sort of big brother,” Todd said speaking to NBC reporter Garrett Haake during his daytime show “Meet the Press Daily.”

“This is always what the right does to appease the white supremacist movement — by saying, ‘hey, free speech. Don’t touch speech.’ ”

Todd’s comments come after a mass shooting in Buffalo, N.Y., over the weekend carried out against shoppers in a predominantly Black neighborhood. The suspect is a white teenager who had allegedly espoused white supremacist ideology in a manifesto posted online before the attack.

Leading Democrats have blamed Republicans’ language on immigration and race relations for bringing the fringe “replacement theory” into mainstream discourse.

Sure they do, Hey Todd where's your commentary on the deomcrats using the First Amendment to stir up racial discord and hatred? Oh wait that's right that's an actual thing not like your lie about the GOP. Maybe you can get Dolly to recognize your BS too.

Chuck Todd is using the First Amendment to lie to his viewers.

Democrats can be depended on when all the lies and deceits don't work, to scream RACIST Racist, racists!  Somethings change little, if at all.

Oops, every once in a while they come right out and admit they want to get rid of free speech.

That has nothing to do with the First Amendment.

GOP politicians are afraid of their own shadows and have the fortitude of wet noodles.

The Dems want to use the White Supremacy dog whistle to snuff dissent.

Wanting the Government to enforce its existing immigration laws is not racist.  With the consent of the governed, they can change those laws.  But, they want to ignore the will of the people and the law to import cheap labor with the hopes they'll vote Dem.

Many urban minority areas that are food deserts, under-banked, and healthcare blackholes are dominated by Democratic politicians.

Dems talk a good game, but they don't improve the quality of life for their minority constituents.  They pass off window dressing and half-measures as progress.
