Significant Blow to First Amendment Rights: Gag Order’s Impact Compared to Biggest Assault in 50 Years

0:00

The former President Donald Trump is facing a gag order that his lawyer, Jesse Binnall, believes is a severe infringement on the First Amendment. A New York County Judge ruled that Trump violated the gag order during his trial, resulting in criminal contempt charges and a threat of jail time. The order demanded that Trump remove certain posts from his social media platform, Truth Social.

Binnall argues that this gag order is unprecedented and violates the First Amendment by dictating what a presidential campaign can or cannot have on their website. He explains that a gag order is a prior restraint on speech, a concept that goes against the principles of the First Amendment. Binnall emphasizes the importance of protecting free speech, even if it means potentially jeopardizing national security, as seen in past Supreme Court cases.

Binnall calls for a higher court to intervene and correct what he sees as a violation of civil rights for political motives. He criticizes the judge for deciding what constitutes a legitimate campaign issue, which goes against the fundamental rights of free speech and expression.

Overall, Binnall believes that the gag order imposed on Trump is the biggest assault on the First Amendment in the last 50 years and criticizes the lack of response from the American left and mainstream media. The interview with Binnall took place on Breitbart News Daily, and he called out the hypocrisy of those who claim to champion the First Amendment but remain silent when it comes to protecting Donald Trump.
