The Maryland Democrat and former constitutional law professor spoke out against a Republican-backed
that he seemed to think was unnecessary at best, because the First Amendment already blocks government censorship:, in connection with the half-baked Twitter hearing, where he needed to explain to them that, under the First Amendment, which applies toaction, private companies can curate content however they want, and Twitter is a private company.
He also invoked conservative media when he dragged committee Chairman James Comer for bragging to Newsmax recently about pressuring AT&T to carry the right-wing network on DirecTV. "If threatening official course of pressure like this — 'follow our orders or else' — applied against not just private social media entities ... but against any media entity, it would transform politics in America in the meaning of the First Amendment," he said.that the Twitter hearing was "the latest sign that we’re in for a long, strange ride with the MAGA Republicans of the 118th Congress. But if they pay attention, they might just learn something.

Raskin is a huge liar
Democrats don’t even know where to find the amendments…
Someone explain to 'Rosie the riveter' here, what happened with Twitter and government censorship.....
It blocks government censorship yet chuckschumer went on the senate floor, on live TV, and demanded that TuckerCarlson and FoxNews be censored.
Yet the government was pressure private businesses to engage in censorship
A new CDC study shows, young liberals, are more depressed than conservative youth — a trend left-wing writer Matthew Yglesias said could be caused, in part, by “poor behavior by adult progressives.
Fook him! He's pathetic and corrupt
Unfortunately Rep. Raskin doesn't believe the First Amendment applies to everyone. Thinks just Democrats! This 'Misinformation Board' and the latest attempt to control the narrative proves he doesn't believe in free speech!
Snot rag for headgear 😂
Jaime raskin is filth
Censorship by the government is alive and well with the help of corrupt news organizations like yours
Twitter files says, he a lie.
But yet MSNBC led the charge of print, broadcast and social media censorship of the Hunter Biden Laptop and the theory of the Lab Leak. Neither are disinformation and true but you censored both.
Meanwhile Prison Mike’s colleague in the senate SenSchumer is calling for censoring a cable news personality.
Just watch the video!!!! They’ve had 10 minutes worth of footage on a loop for the last two years. 10 minutes out of 40,000 hours.
Evidently Jamie Raskin was ok with the Justice Department & FBI censorship of the Biden Laptop and the censorship and intimidation of parents voicing their right of free speech at School Committee meetings in Virginia. Jamie never had that course at Law School. He needs more.
You mean like the Democrats censorship of free speech on Social Media platforms? Also their control of the media. Especially CNN and . Hilarious when you all say the exact same thing. Especially when it's provided by this administration as talking points for shows. 🤔
and that democrat lead resolution on hate is fixing things right?
Obviously it is necessary bc our “leaders” have used back door methods to work around 1A. What’s wrong with passing a law that clarifies what gov can/can’t do regarding censorship. Are Dems afraid this will limit their ability to sway the next election? No other reason to oppose.
RepRaskin should inform POTUS and the FBI. They paid twitter and Facebook to censor conservatives. corrupt
From the party that conspired with social media companies to censor Americans with opposing viewpoints. WalkAwayFromDemocrats hypocrisy MSNBCistrash
Nice dew rag
What MSNBC is not mentioning is the bill covers the government's agencies from taking part with private companies in censoring the first amendment. Tell the whole story and this headline dies.
msnbc u r so full of it never even read your trash🕵️
Cute. Is it in the bidens cobalt mine in China?
So Jamie, apparently the Democrats didn’t get the memo about blocking censorship, but what the hell you guys commit so many crimes, it is hard to keep track
🤥🤡 Democrat Party and the Biden Administration continues to collude with MSM and Tech Companies to illegally circumvent the First Amendment and censor. “Unnecessary” is Raskin to do anything but RESIGN IMMEDIATELY
Yea but the current government is all for censorship, and that’s the whole point!
Twitter files exposed all of that.. apparently 1st amendment should cover that, but it didn't
Yeah.. tell it to the FBI
Why is he bothering himself, or anyone, on a single state legislative issue?
Kind of like all the hyperbole on voting rights from the left when every legal American over age 18 that hasn't committed a felony can already vote.
Joe Biden's Gestapo allied with...Twitter, Google, Facebook...to censor Americans...Hello?
Can he also remind everyone how our 2nd amendment works?
The first amendment 'blocks' censorship like salt assists snails.
Weak media coverage
So it's wrong if the FBI works with Big Tech to censor Americans?
That’s why god punished that woke grooming liar with cancer 😂💯🇺🇸
It’s proven they controlled the social media to their program. Let’s face, desperate Dems will pay anything to have the truth hidden. Even with AI, it’s already proven it is one sided
He is another liar and it’s so transparent….
Jamie couldn't take anyone to school about anything. The man is a liar and hypocrite
Twitter files proves that the FBI paid out 3 million dollars to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story
The s snot rag look isn’t working
Umm except all the censorship has come from liberals-look what they did on Twitter (before Musk purchased it)and Facebook.
So going after government backed censorship that HAS been happening needs no attention because its already unconstitutional? The FBI is out of control and the DOJ needs a top down house cleaning.
Boy I can’t wait till Elon buys CNN and MSNBC. Clean house and start over. That would help save our country and our children.
Ok, so why did so many conspire to censor free speech leading up to the last election?
By this theory there is no need to ever bring forward any guns since the second admendmet already covers it 🤷♂️
The hypocrisy runs deep with these people
You are not for America .. propaganda fools
THIS CLOWN IS PATHETIC !
Raskin once again wears AOC's underwear on his head. This time, it was her Taco Tuesday pair, and as you can see, he's pretty happy to have them.
Odd that the 1A never stopped the left from censoring the right on social media, or on left wing news. But then the left has constantly attacked the 1A, 2A, 4A, 5A and 10A for several decades, if not more.
The GOP, like other matrixes of disinformation --- Kremlin, Beijing, Tehran, and Pyongyang --- is antagonistic toward the free flow of ideas and information, not nearly at the level of these monstrous organizations, of course, but deception always seeks to check the truth.
Mr. Raskin is right. However, private companies should make decisions to withhold reporting WITHOUT help or visists from federal law enforcement or other officials, don't you think, Mr. Raskin? Federal involvemenrt is a no no, period.
From the party that tried to introduce a ‘Ministry of Truth’ dept. last year. 🙄
Because our govt doesn't abide by constitutional law. It's not legal for them to get someone else to do their dirty work. MNBC is actually talking about AM 1, when they are one of the reasons for AM 1. When you lie constantly like MSNBC, you don't the deserve protection.
That coming from Democrats in positions of power is incredibly hypocritical.
Have you seen the twitter files ?
That’s crazy, I remember how the government worked to combat “disinformation” with big tech. Censorship of all kinds is bad and worsens society.
Does he mean like how Twitter banned trump.
How can we take you seriously…you are liars
Just go the F away
It obviously fucking doesn't. Ethereal loopholes. Lets close them. At least our corrupt government isn't following it so what do you do? If this isn't concerning everyone you deserve the fascist utopia you are helping to create. Enjoy.
Classic left 😅 supports censorship last few years when it fits their narrative about “covid” and those “unsafe and ineffective mystery jabs” and now cats out of the bag about everything they were wrong about and NOW all of a sudden against censorship eh Silly bastards.😅
Let’s go cancer!
You mean like when democrats cancelled free speech on social media? Like that?
Why can’t this guy support legislation of Pot Just saying on behalf of bipartisanship
DeeCal1 Republicans are like a B-list singer invited to sing the Star-Spangled Banner at the ball park and starts out in too high a key and forgets the words.
Here’s how the 2A works FAFO
Rep. JamieRaskin doesn’t suffer fools gladly. He is the true American patriot. God bless him in his ongoing battle with cancer.
So unnecessary this 'article' has been posted repeatedly.
Well it didn't stop the government from paying twitter to censor.... Why don't you ever speak to that? Also.. why don't you ever comment on what your overlords are doing in the middle east with our money?
Weren't you the one soliciting censorship of individuals through Twitter, Facebook and Google! LIAR!
BTW, I wish Raskin the best with his battle!
Lolol, so you say! There is obviously a HUGE FRIGGIN PROBLEM somewhere in this equation. Don't insult me by claiming censorship isn't happening!! WTF?
We all know the Democrats colluded with big tech to censor opposing voices.
And yet for years now the left wing government has used Twitter and other social media to censor speech protected by the first amendment- without consequences. Sounds like something must be done to prevent government abuse.
And yet the govt did it with social media outlets.
What the heck is Jamie Raskin wearing on his head? 🤦🏻♂️
And who gives 2-shits?
DSP is Homophobe (Fact) DSP is well documented to be Homophobe since 2007 (Fact)
The man simply lets his political partisanship misuse the 1st Amendment! The Federal Government influenced a private company to disregard the 1st Amendment! There's sworn testimony by business executives that shows this! What scary, he 100% knows he's lying! He taught this!
How about we talk about real news instead.
He’s a SAVAGE.
Jamie The Election Denier
Republicans have never read the Constitution.
And yet, day after day, we see big business and elements of the government, conspiring to shut out free thought and criticism. You do know what they call big business and the government working together against the will of the people and quashing dissenting opinions don't you?
Why does he continue to culturally appropriate?
Jamie Raskin should be more worried about angry whistleblowers & the money laundering he’s assisted his Jewish friends with inside his synagogue than lecturing others about the constitution.
The Dems rely on the MSM to do the censoring for them.
MSDNC wants to comment on censorship 😳. Let me count ways…Russia, no laptop, Covid lies and and.
Love RepRaskin! May God bless him. ♥️🙏
Is that a dew rags...😂. Are you sure ...he is t the best at telling the truth...just look at him...you trust that wanna be gang member...😂🤣
Censorship is still 🔥 👌 popular in Congress.
Sure it does MSNBC sure it does. Except that living document called the constitution doesn’t cope well with current media like twitter was or the rest of you still are
So he admits the Gov violated the 1st amendment
Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube google all are guilty of censoring conservatives
This republican nightmare garbage doesn't deserve the first amendment.
I believe that bandanna is a little bit too tight around his head!
TwitterFiles showed that politicians(on both sides) & gov't agencies asked for & in most cases received, censorship on Twitter. Raskin altered evidence & entered it into an impeachment proceeding so if you take legal advice from him you may want to find a non-biased source.
It is irresponsible to deflect the obvious. Wuhan lab or Virology. Lets look there. It is irresponsible to fund GOF research through eco health alliance.
You mean like that last voting rights bill that did the same thing as voting rights already do?
Raskin is now part of the SQUAD along with Gaetz, Omar, Taylor-Greene, Ocasio-Cortez, Boebert, Tlaib, Lieu. Boy, do I miss Madison Cawthorne.
Bias propaganda
The irony here is that you don't see is its a play out of the liberals handbook...
Then why didn't it work? Why was the government colluding with Social Media giants to censor people? His party was deeply involved.
Smackdown on the elephants, of epic proportions
Then why was the FBI working at Twitter to influence elections?
Then why was government colluding with Big Tech and main stream media to censure Republicans?
Obviously, the author (some lawyer of limited ability who is relegated to working as a Democrat propaganda supporter at MSNBC) didn't read the actual bill or believes every word Raskin the liar says. Did he hear about the exposed connections of the Obama/Biden Adm, FBI, DOJ & MSM
That's funny, given commie Raskin and his buddies have voted for countless 'equal pay' laws, even though identical laws have been on the books for years.
🎯 Another Win for Intelligence vs Ignorance 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When has raskin ever been right about something?
What a freak
Friends of yours Jamie? Fascism hypocrisy
Republicans need to take a remedial Civics class.
Lol- you’re all a joke—programmed 🤡
Democrats are the party of censorship...
Let us remind Rep Jamie Raskin, that democrats ordered Twitter and Facebook executives to ban Republicans, who exercised their first amendment rights. I am a conservative and a victim of democrat censorship of my first amendment right.
He’s scum!
The government needs to be prohibited from colluding with third parties or coercing them to do ANYTHING regarding the free speech of American citizens. This is the loophole DEMOCRATS have been using to attack and silence opposing opinions.
He doesn’t know how it works
I know he is under going treatment for cancer but… Really a Bandanna is your choice? jamie_raskin please wear a doorag! Your bandanna looks ridiculous.
The twitter files have demonstrated the government partnership with big tech to censor American citizens in obvious violation of the constitution. Raisin is being deeply disingenuous.
Um. You all just got outed for being pressured by the Democrats, using the FBI as their cudgel - and this? LOL!!! You fascists... Where's that FRIGGIN BAT? Posers. And he's vile - used his child's suicide for politicking. That's gross.
This Neo-Bolshevik is a Lover of Censorship, and Hater of Free Speech! Btw: Get America and NATO the HELL out of Ukraine! PEACE!!!!
Government coercing a private entity to censor on behalf of the government is a violation of the first amendment. Saying it's not is like saying one didn't commit murder if they forced someone else to carry out the act.
This is getting ridiculous. How many times now has Raskin had to educate or correct the GOP members. They keep opening their mouths without thinking or doing their research.
saw how DemocRAT gov censorship worked when the DemocRATS put FBI & other spy agencies into social media platforms& completely denied free speech to conservative thought suppressing Hunter biden's complicity & the origin of covid as well as vaccine ineffectiveness!
Nice Little Steven costume, but Halloween's way off!
The First Amendment certainly blocks government censorship. It doesn't prevent this administration from doing it...THAT'S what you should be reporting on . But you never will because you're on the same team.
operation mocking bird?
Only msnbc would take Jamie Raskin seriously, 😂 This network is dead ☠️
What a dishonest clown.
He must’ve missed out on the Twitter files.
Another false, made up story. Thanks for the laugh.
But there is also the EmolumentsClause! Accounting is diff from censoring.
This should be a standard practice. Before you can become a congressman or senator you must read and understand the Constitution of the United States and its amendments
But when a government agency like the fbi is working with a social media company to actively suppress what is being said...it's unconstitutional. The social platforms CANNOT take guidance from the government. That is a violation of the first amendment
The government has been censoring social media for years, everyone knows it
Seriously, he is comparing apples to steak imo. The Social Media PLATFORM has article 230 protection basically making it a town square protecting them from liable, Newspapers don't. Maybe he needs to go back to law school.
It didn't seem to matter to the fbi when they were paying twitter to censor people. Perhaps raskin forgot that part?
Look everyone its prison Mike on year 19 of his 25 year sentence.
I don't believe a large part of what we've been told about ww2 regarding what's been come to be known as the ' holocaust 'am I free to discuss my points on this subject? How would Rankin feel about it?
Perhaps he was reminding the wrong folks
And yet the government was a huge player in censoring citizens. Raskin is a socialist election denier and not much else.
Election Denier Jamie
Eliminate parties that advocated slavery…..Democrats
Weird how he didn't say anything about the FBI censoring people on Twitter or Obama using the IRS to target conservative nonprofits.
Meh, Raskin didn’t seem to remind himself when he was in power ..oh well , now he’s not !
RT RepRaskin created Zelensky millionaires RepAdamSchiff January 6 conspiracy proved Rioters planned conspiracy to burn down Capitol. Former Capitol Police chief complicit incompetent no testimony Survivor TheMandalorian Ukraina
This include using the social media giants to enforce censorship Jamie?
Unless it’s the fbi on Twitter and Facebook.
And this, from one of the people who peddled the lie in the Steele dossier. Sure, color me SHOCKED.
Maybe they should apply that to the second amendment ya think?
Twitter and FB aren't the government. 1A not applicable. They can remove whatever content they want.
Democrat 101. Defund the police, be racist, be bigots, push censorship of conservative voices, and push socialism. Then claim the opposite.
isn’t this one of the guys that perpetuated the lie of the steel dossier ? i think it is! yep- a liar.
Forgot to mention Trump trump trump ....
Exactly just more waste of time and taxpayer money
Yet that hasn't kept the left from censoring the opposition.
Government “collusion” with social and mainstream media is censorship and election interference. Stop with the nuances and context which you love to use when it’s convenient for you via your various “blogs”. Success is not defined by how bobble head sheep react. ICantStandYous
Demand Dem s against the first amendment be removed from office
He’s working hard these days. The majority party have no idea of the law.
REP Jamie Raskin knows the US Constitution well! Maybe the GOP needs to brush up on US Constitution as well before coming up with bills that are stomping on free speech & host of other dysfunctional crap & waste of taxpayers dollars. I give the GOP an F for failure!
This is the most illiterate congress I can remember. In the past most had a skill set. The only skill set I see is racism, insurrectionist, traitors, people that defrauded Medicaid, and liars. Vote them out.
Overall, we rate MSNBC Left Biased based on story selection that consistently favors the establishment left. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to news hosts and the website producing 3 pants on fire claims.
The government telling a surrogate to censor for them is the problem.
Kind of like how we don't need an anti lynching law because murder is already illegal.
Oh you mean like how the constitution already gives voting rights and protections to all citizens but Democrats are always yapping about how black Americans are losing theirs?
look at Raskin look at his family look how democrats run cities all disasters
MSNBC IS THE PIT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK AGAIN.
So are the democrats now cool with saying covid was lab made? Or should people still be silenced for that 'free speech?' Or is that still different?
Can't remember MSNBC EVER getting a single story straight.
Jamie Raskin is a rock star. I have SO much respect for this gentleman. Raskin keeping it real.
Wait a minute so is Jamie Raskin saying the twitter files did not have evidence of government agencies influencing or directing social media to censor or block information Seems like msnbc is LYING again
Except:
RepAshleyHinson millermeeks schooled
Well, if the Democrats weren't found to be trying to censor people that disagreed or had opposing views this wouldn't be needed.
This is one of the most intelligent and moral among us!
The GOP to law school, Whaha.. The leftist are nausea
So, msnbc is so petty they praise a host company for removing competition that was in higher demand you were? In most realms, that's known as being a sore loser. NEWSMAX still has greater support than you propagandists.
Thank you Jamie!
Yet elonmusk is an asshole for allowing Americans to exercise their first amendment rights of Twitter. Hypocrites!
If bezos owns the post. Why doesn't Musk own Newsmax, unless they can't make money, but many can take Newsmax and diversify into many things in demand.
***TWITTER FILES*** So stuff it!
JamesComer is a fascist authoritarian who thinks big government should control private industry.
That’s wrong, public has no right to demand services one way or another. The public always has a choice, use another cable service. Slippery slope
Chemo brain should step down.
I bet you would have no problem with Elon getting rid of every major democrat from his platform without complaints then.
Right.....sure he did.🤣🤡
Raskin needs to get dragged for that stupid do-rag.
Why can't this special be on your news
