“There is a shocking double standard here when it comes to speech, and unfortunately, it is not constrained by the four walls of this chamber. While the Senator from Massachusetts has my Republican colleagues up in arms by simply reciting the words of a civil rights leader, my Republican colleagues can hardly summon a note of disapproval for an administration that insults a federal judge, tells the news media to shut up, offhandedly threatens a legislators career, and seems to invent new dimensions of falsehood each and every day. I certainly hope that this anti-free-speech attitude is not traveling down Pennsylvania Avenue to our great chamber. Especially when the only speech being stifled is speech that Republicans don’t agree with… …This is not what America is about, silencing speech, especially in this chamber.”
