It’s always interesting—if not a little exhausting—when the same voices who once defended censorship suddenly pretend they’ve always been champions of free speech. The latest example? Senator Elizabeth Warren, who’s now waving the “anti-censorship” banner as if her party wasn’t neck-deep in silencing dissent just a few years ago.
Everyone who spoke up against Trump’s censorship of Kimmel showed that the First Amendment is not for sale.
But the fight isn’t over. Trump won’t stop pressuring media companies to erode free speech in exchange for secure mergers and regulatory favors.
We must keep fighting.

Recently, Warren was approached by a reporter and asked a simple question: Where does she stand on the censorship that took place during the pandemic era, particularly in 2020 and 2021, when social media platforms openly suppressed stories and opinions that ran counter to the prevailing Democratic narrative? Her response wasn’t a verbal one—it was kinetic. The senator pivoted, picked up the pace, and practically sprinted away from the camera. If the 2024 Olympics had a category for political evasion, she might have qualified on the spot.
This kind of retreat says more than any press release could. And it’s not an isolated moment.
It’s not a question of whether you agree with Jimmy Kimmel.
When someone uses their government position to threaten speech they don’t like, that undermines the First Amendment and our entire democracy.
Everyone should care about this—no matter what your political view is.

Democrats have spent the last few years tiptoeing around their role in what can only be described as soft-authoritarian control of information. Whether it was suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story ahead of the 2020 election, flagging vaccine-related posts for takedown, or promoting “disinformation boards,” the left’s track record on censorship is neither subtle nor deniable.
Now enter Jimmy Kimmel, a late-night host turned progressive mouthpiece, who Democrats have propped up as some kind of folk hero for “speaking truth to power.” Recently, Kimmel claimed he was pressured to tone down his Trump critiques—or else. But here’s the kicker: he wasn’t actually censored. He was paid millions to entertain audiences and chose to use that platform to launch political tirades. That’s not censorship; that’s a career choice.

Still, figures like Warren try to retrofit the narrative. Today, censorship is bad—because now they’re out of power in key spaces, and the blowback has begun. Suddenly, protecting speech matters again. But the memory of the American public is not so short. We remember the coordinated silencing, the blacklisting of dissenting doctors, the throttling of independent journalism, and the not-so-covert collusion between Big Tech and political actors.
I give her credit for fast walking as fast as she did for her age.. That’s gotta be the Native American in her. https://t.co/5ZQew9xA94

No matter how fast she runs, the truth is already ahead of her.
