Amend the Constitution to Strip Corporations of Free Speech Rights – Twitchy

He’s running. When Buttigieg starts coming up with new Amendments to the Constitution and taking his show on the road, he is most definitely running. 

Buttigieg: In a country that amended its constitution so you could not purchase a beer and then realized it was a bad idea and amended it back, surely we can have an amendment clarifying that a corporation is not a person and money is not speech. pic.twitter.com/Wpmj106Sw7

Money is in fact speech—if government officials prohibited you from using your money to buy a political sign and display it on your property, that would be a restriction of your speech https://t.co/wmtVA8YFDb

Logic doesn’t work on Mayor Pete. Just nod and smile.

This is a dumb and ignorant position for dumb and ignorant people. https://t.co/3EXBMDG9pS

So, tailor made for Democrats.

this is brainless demagoguery and Buttigieg should be smarter than this.

The New York Times Company is a corporation. It should have no free speech rights? How about Paramount Pictures or ABC News or Simon & Schuster or Conde Nast? https://t.co/TRvkugYIGz

Even if he is smarter than that, and there is no evidence he is, he has to play stupid for the people he needs to vote for him.

One of the dumbest comparisons anyone has ever made. But it is Pete Buttigieg. https://t.co/oo5gcPrTEy

I wonder what Trump would do to NBC and SNL in a world where corporations have no First Amendment rights. https://t.co/hgQsbOlmaH

Hey, it could be fun.

So if spending money and corporate resources isn’t free speech, then CBS and NBC and CNN don’t have free speech, right? https://t.co/uOUwfh98ql

Democrats haven’t thought this through. Clearly.

The New York Times has freedom of the press. They need money to exercise it. So if it isn’t “speech,” what becomes of the NYT? https://t.co/M3r1jIXpOG

In other words, Buttigieg(extremely overrated) is at minimum, selectively hostile to speech and free association. https://t.co/MJUJrmOsUZ

He’s a typical Democrat. 

If a corporation is not a person and has no first amendment protection, then the New York Times would have no first amendment protection. https://t.co/5prX4Dw8eP

Wild to hear Buttigieg endorse a plan to get rid of the First Amendment protections for the New York Times and CNN. https://t.co/H58pmdXDus

I mean, if Pete insists. 

If a corporation is not a person, it can’t enter contracts or be sued. Fine if you want to go that route I guess… https://t.co/f4cCPzfXCu

The Personal Injury Attorneys, like Democrat mega-donor John Morgan, will hate that. Pete should be careful what he wishes for.
