<p>George Washington University professor Jonathan Turley took aim at the 2024 Democratic presidential ticket — which now includes Vice President Kamala Harris for president and Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) for vice president — saying that the pair showed a &#8220;shocking disregard for free speech.&#8221;</p>
<p>Turley shared his thoughts in an opinion piece for The Hill published Saturday, in which he warned that a Harris-Walz administration would be a &#8220;perfect nightmare for free speech advocates&#8221; and would likely lead to more censorship rather than less.</p>
<p>&#8220;Harris has long supported anti-free speech policies. The addition of Walz completes a perfect nightmare for free speech advocates. Walz has shown not only a shocking disregard for free speech but a shocking lack of understanding of the First Amendment.</p>

<p>— Jonathan Turley (@JonathanTurley) <a href="https://twitter.com/JonathanTurley/status/1822346683981742582?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 10, 2024</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;For over three years, the Biden-Harris administration has sustained an unrelenting attack on the freedom of speech, from supporting a massive censorship system (described by a federal court as an &#8216;Orwellian Ministry of Truth&#8217;) to funding blacklisting operations targeting groups and individuals with opposing views,&#8221; Turley wrote.</p>
<p>He went on to reference the Biden administration&#8217;s efforts to combat &#8220;disinformation&#8221; on social media by coordinating efforts to silence dissenting voices on those platforms.</p>
<p><span class="person-popover" data-nid="5215">&#8220;President Biden </span>made censorship a central part of his legacy, even accusing social media companies of &#8216;killing people&#8217; for failing to increase levels of censorship,&#8221; Turley continued. &#8220;Democrats in Congress pushed that agenda by demanding censorship on subjects ranging from climate change to gender identity — even to banking policy — in the name of combatting &#8216;disinformation.'&#8221;</p>
<p>Turley pointed out the fact that Harris — who has often bragged about being in the room as Biden has made the biggest decisions of his presidency — appears to have been fully supportive of Biden&#8217;s efforts to curtail speech, and then noted that the addition of Walz only served to make things worse.</p>
<p>Walz, who claimed &#8220;there’s no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech,&#8221; completes &#8220;a perfect nightmare&#8221; for any American who values the protections guaranteed under the First Amendment.</p>
