<p>Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ted-cruz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ted Cruz</a> (R-TX) warned this week that past remarks from Vice President Kamala Harris indicate that she would be a serious threat to America&#8217;s First Amendment rights if elected as president.</p>
<p>Cruz made the remarks during his &#8220;Verdict&#8221; podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson while talking about video clips that have recently gone viral that highlight remarks from Harris&#8217; 2019 presidential campaign where she advocated clamping down on free speech by going after social media companies for not censoring content.</p>
<p>&#8220;Kamala has a long, long history of calling for censorship, calling for silencing anyone who disagrees with her, of wanting to use government power to silence her critics,&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;If Kamala Harris becomes president, I predict now she will try to muzzle X. She will try to ban X. She wants to follow Brazil&#8217;s path and ban X. She wants to use government power to go after big tech and force them to be her censors.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cruz said that Harris shows more disdain for the First Amendment than any other presidential candidate in more than two centuries.</p>
<p>&#8220;The last time we had a presidential candidate with this antipathy was John Adams, our second president, who had enforced the Alien and Sedition Acts and used them to persecute his political opponents,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s been two centuries since that has happened since then, and Kamala Harris displays an unprecedented willingness to use government power to silence you.&#8221;</p>
<p>He noted that Harris believes that free speech is &#8220;merely a privilege and a privilege that she, as the dictator, can revoke if you dare disagree with her.&#8221;</p>

Buy here for a theater near you.</b></a></p>
<p>&#8220;It is not a privilege,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The First Amendment says Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech. It&#8217;s not a privilege. It is a right protected in the Bill of Rights.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Kamala Harris pledged to weaponize the DOJ even more and use it to attack platforms for free speech like X.</p>
<p>Free speech is on the ballot this election. The only way to save free speech is to defeat Kamala Harris.<a href="https://t.co/vx6VDxPgIA">https://t.co/vx6VDxPgIA</a> <a href="https://t.co/B19HTHYSzr">pic.twitter.com/B19HTHYSzr</a></p>
