We can’t believe they have stooped this low…
Rep. Frederica Wilson, a Democrat from Texas, wants to imprison people who make fun of Congress members on the Internet.
It is a full scale fight against free speech in the same way the Democrats fight against other Amendments like the right to bear arms.
“Those people who are online making fun of members of Congress are a disgrace, and there is no need for anyone to think that is unacceptable [sic],” Rep. Wilson said.
She meant to say “there is no need for anyone to think that is acceptable” but it is tough to get words correct when one is feigning outrage.
“We’re gonna shut them down and work with whoever it is to shut them down, and they should be prosecuted,” she said.
“You cannot intimidate members of Congress, frighten members of Congress. It is against the law, and it’s a shame in this United States of America,” she said, The Washington Examiner reported.
ProPublica on Monday publicized posts made by Border Patrol agents in a private Facebook group that disparaged migrants and some members of Congress, such as Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Wilson then went on to blame President Trump for causing people to lose respect for Congress, the media, and the White House.
A May 2019 Gallup poll recorded a 20% approval rating for Congress, whose approval rating has not hit 30% in 10 years.
Wilson has long been a critic of the president, whom she has claimed is “crazy” and suffering from “a brain disorder.”
She waded into a public feud with the White House in October 2017, when she listened in on a phone call that Trump made to Myeshia Johnson, the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, who was killed in the line of duty in Niger on Oct. 4, 2017.
Wilson claimed that Trump told the Gold Star widow that her husband “knew what he signed up for, but I guess it still hurt.”
Her words were met with scorn on Twitter and other forums who thought that her statement was continuing the war against free speech on the Internet.

Perhaps she should be into working for all the United States in place of what she is now doing. If you act stupid do not be mad if someone points this out. Your remarks about white people are disgusting. Have you seen any “white power” things like magazines (Ebony), white groups (NAACP), white caucus (Black Caucus) and others? NO you have not. There was one with whites (they kept their faces covered) KKK but even other white people did not side with them and they went out of business. You need to realize that many white people during slavery years were not any better off than the blacks they just were not called slaves. We look to history as history and try to better what was done not to use it as a tool. My family was and for the most part is very poor. I grew up in a tarpaper shack with dirt floors but I do not expect the government today to pay me or my family because of it. You were never the slave and none who are alive today are slaves so your ancestors had it rough so did mine. But we move on and do what we can. Maybe you should have joined the Army then you could have been worried that you could have been shot but you are safe as anyone in this country that you daily put down.
