“This Bill Promoted Internet Censorship And Violations of The 1st Amendment”: Rep. Massie Lone Vote Against ‘Anti-Semitism’ Bill

The House on Wednesday voted 420-1 in favor of a bill that "promoted internet censorship and violations of the First Amendment" in the name of "combatting anti-Semitism." Republican Kentucky Rep Thomas Massie was the lone vote against the bill. "I don’t hate anyone based on his or her ethnicity or religion. Legitimate government exists, in part, to punish those who commit unprovoked violence against others, but government can’t legislate thought," Massie said Thursday after getting attacked by the media. "This bill promoted internet censorship and violations of the 1st amendment."
