Blue State Blues: ‘Defenders’ of ‘Democracy’ Who Are Its Enemies

President Joe Biden likes to warn us about a rising tide of “autocracy” worldwide, but the greatest danger to democracy lately comes from those who claim to be defending it.
The latest example was the response of Democrats and journalists to Tucker Carlson’s release of new video footage of the Capitol riot of Jan. 6, 2021. They demanded the video be censored, and that News Corp owner Rupert Murdoch pull Carlson off the air.
Schumer: "Rupert Murdoch has a special obligation to stop Tucker Carlson from going on tonight [and] from letting him go on again and again and again [because] our democracy depends on it."
Schumer’s demand was a direct attack on the
First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which not only guards freedom of the press, but specifically restrains Congress itself from interfering with it: “Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.”
Schumer violated the Constitution — and, arguably, his oath to defend it. And he had the chutzpah to declare that he was doing so to defend our democracy.
