Dem Ted Lieu wants to censor speech he doesn' like, is sorry he can't

Comrade Ted Lieu

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) spoke Wednesday on the Communist News Network (CNN) saying that he would like to censor speech, particularly speech he disagrees with but isn't allowed to because of that pesky First Amendment thingy preventing him from his fascistic wishes.

Lieu was talking to the far left-leaning fake news TV station about Google CEO Sundar Pichai's testimony before Congress about the issue of political bias in his company's search algorithm.

Pichai spoke with a thick malayali accent, being that he's from the Indian state of Kerala, and while his accent was cute and all innocent-sounding, he was lying like a Stormy Daniels trying to scrape up the money for Trump's attorney fees.

But this isn't about him, it's about Lieu, a politician who not only has sworn to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution, but he wants to change it for his own political benefit.

"The CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai, testifying before your committee about a number of concerns," CNN lib-host Brianna Keilar said. "You took an opportunity to push back on Republican claims of bias in Google searches. In the middle of this hearing you Googled Republican Steve Scalise, you Googled after that Republican Steve King to show that there were favorable stories, including from conservative outlets about Scalise, negative coverage of King, and you made the point essentially, that's not because of a Google algorithm, it's because of what these members do and say."

Keilar was trying to also make the ridiculous point that Google actually favors conservatives.

"I will say, it was — it was clever. It caught some attention," Keilar continued. "But I wonder, have you thought that maybe you and other Democrats have missed opportunities to use your time to press Google's CEO at a time when these large tech companies are struggling to manage content perpetuating conspiracy theories, they're so vulnerable to outside interference? Isn't that a focus that could have been a missed opportunity?"

"So it's a very good point you make," Lieu said. "I would love if I could have more than five minutes, to question witnesses. Unfortunately, I don't get that opportunity." [That's because nobody does and you aren't special, Lieu. I also really detest people who start half their sentences with "So".]

"However, I would love to be able to regulate the content of speech," Lieu continued, sounding like a dictatorial schmuck. "The First Amendment prevents me from doing so. And that's simply a function of the First Amendment. But I think over the long run, it's better that government does not regulate the content of speech." [No kidding, genius.]

Lieu then suggested that the tech companies should do a better job of censoring free speech. Yes, any time a dweeb at a tech company doesn't like what someone is saying when exercising his or her free speech, the tech company must put an end to it.

You must be thinking you're living in Communist freaking China, Lieu.

"I would urge these private sector companies to regulate it better themselves," Lieu concluded. "But it's really nothing that I believe government can do. And so that's been my position all along."

It's frightening to find that people in government, people who are sworn to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic, would want to scrap the most important Amendment in the Bill of Rights, which is why it's the First Amendment.
