CNN is almost never “must see TV” but this segment is…
Not because of CNN of course.
In spite of them.
In fact, their news anchor Kaitlan Collins is so woefully uneducated on the First Amendment it is almost painful to watch.
But God Bless President Trump’s attorney, John Lauro, how calmly explained to her how the First Amendment works.
Any high school civics professors watching this would have to be appalled at how blatantly backwards Collins’ understanding of the First Amendment is.
This is truly an eye-opening exchange.
You ever wonder why we call CNN “propaganda media”?
It’s because of crap like this.
This vapid talking head Kaitlan Collins gets on the air and tries to tell America how the First Amendment works — and she’s dead wrong!
Painfully dead wrong!
Like “you’d get an F on that test in school” wrong.
Do not pass Go, do not advance to the 12th grade.
Lauro took his time and calmly explained to her how it works, and the look on her face tells you all you need to know.
She looks so confused.
She just can’t quite figure out why in the world we shouldn’t let the DOJ lock up a prior President who used his First Amendment rights to speak out and question whether the election was stolen.
This is like Textbook First Amendment 101.
As Lauro explains, political speech is perhaps the most protected of all speech (and he’s exactly right):
“No, it doesn’t…the First Amendment protects all speech. If we’re going to have a situation where the Department of Justice is going to fact-check politicians and indict politicians for political speech and whether or not they’re factually accurate, then this country will shut down, politically. And that’s the risk of injecting politics into the criminal justice system.”
Incredible clip on so many levels, watch here:
Must watch. Trump’s lawyer smacks down CNN for suggesting that Trump doesn’t have first amendment rights.
Trump is innocent!

Look at the UGLY smirk on her face that whole interview….
Ugly on the inside and out if you ask me.
But then again….that’s just MY OPINION which is protected under the FIRST AMENDMENT!
Imagine that.
But a big thank you to John Lauro for enduring her BS and setting the record straight.
It’s a real shame that our country is not more educated on the BASICS of the one of the two most important Amendments we have protecting our freedoms.
It’s sad it had to come to this, but perhaps this is the wake up call our country needed.
