THERE it is! Rep. Ted Lieu admits what he'd 'love to regulate' (and it's 'absolutely pathetic') [video]

Democrat Rep. Ted Lieu said something on CNN today that raised a lot of eyebrows:

@tedlieu, did I just hear you say you would "love to regulate the content of speech?" #1stAmendment

That’s exactly what he said:

It’s always helpful when they just come right out and say it!

Would you like to put this in context, @tedlieu?

“I would love to be able to regulate the content of speech. The First Amendment prevents me from doing so”. https://t.co/RbZmnqw9TI

But at least Lieu admitted that the First Amendment prohibits him from pursuing what he’d “love” to do:

"I would love to regulate speech"
Ted Lieu on CNN just now.
He did go on to say he couldn't because of the 1st amendment, but this is the mindset of a typical Democrat. #MAGA #WWG1WGA
