However, Turley pointed out that the Democratic Party has gone to great lengths to suppress the constitutional rights of Americans and their freedom to choose who they want running the country.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jonathan Turley stated:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>He lost me in the specifics. He talks about democracy being on the ballot but the ballot isn\u2019t very democratic, his own party is trying to strip ballots of Donald Trump\u2019s name to prevent people who want to vote for what appears to be the leading candidate for the presidency from doing that. So when he\u2019s talking about the freedom to vote and have your vote count, his party is actively trying to prevent that and saying, really, you\u2019re not just voting for me, just think you\u2019re voting for democracy. For those people, they really feel like, if we vote for you, do we get democracy back next time? Are we going to have all of the candidates on the ballot? I don\u2019t think that effort will succeed. It\u2019s worth noting when he talks about the freedom of speech, the Biden administration I have written before, is the most anti-free-speech administration since the administration of John Adams. I mean, his administration has carried out what a federal court called an Orwellian censorship program with the help of social media companies.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you want your rights preserved as they are enumerated in the U.S. Constitution, you cannot vote for a Democrat in 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/?p=53315\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[13417,621,10546,439,3357,2205,6467,118,6254,14017,13505,2119],"class_list":["post-53315","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-biden-administration","tag-constitution","tag-constitutional-rights","tag-democratic-party","tag-donald-trump","tag-first-amendment","tag-george-washington-university","tag-joe-biden","tag-jonathan-turley","tag-the-biden-administration","tag-the-first-amendment","tag-townhall-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53315","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=53315"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53315\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":53316,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53315\/revisions\/53316"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=53315"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=53315"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=53315"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
