California Rep. Ted Lieu blatantly confessed on CNN that he "Would love to be able to regulate the content of speech" but that he's stopped by that pesky First Amendment, which keeps his powers in check.
Appearing on CNN with host Brianna Keilar, Lieu was asked to discuss the congressional hearing with Google CEO Sundar Pichai about political bias within the company and how it might affect the country.
Lieu confessed that he would love to regulate speech but that the First Amendment prevents him from doing so.
"I would love if I could have more than five minutes to question witnesses. Unfortunately, I don't get that opportunity. However, I would love to be able to regulate the content of speech. The First Amendment prevents me from doing so, and that's simply a function of the First Amendment, but I think over the long run, it's better the government does not regulate the content of speech."
I'd caution readers not to take Lieu's stance of restricting the government from controlling speech as legitimate.
Lieu is only backing Google here because Google is clearly biased against the right as it has demonstrated time and again.
Lieu has made a show of considering the hearings on Google's bias to be a massive waste of time and is making the concerns of Google's bias out to be nothing more than a conspiracy theory.
