Rep Dan Goldman: “Mr. Chairman, you continually say that it used to be the both parties agreed with the First Amendment. It didn’t used to be, it is. It remains the case. We all agree with the First Amendment. But the problem is that the First Amendment is not absolute. It does not protect any single thing anyone says. And there are limits and that’s important. And what this committee has been trying to do for the last year and a half is to chill the federal government from monitoring what is going on on social media and otherwise out there so that misinformation and disinformation can run rampant in only Elon Musk’s social platform and every other social platform so that they the Republicans can benefit from it in November’s election. That is why this committee exists... and we have gotten no evidence to support any of these allegations.”
