Sure they do.
People that…you know…actually TELL the truth…have a monopoly on it.
The President is praising the types of people who called the tragedy at Sandy Hook a government hoax to push gun control…who claim there’s a vault under the Getty Museum our of which a pedophile ring operates…who have been shown in a court of law to have deliberately manipulated video footage they shot to tell a story that’s not true.
It’s not that these people couldn’t tell the truth of they wanted to…it’s just objective fact that DON’T tell the truth.
You’re not praising them because they’re truth tellers.
You’re praising them because they lie for “your team”.

No. I’m saying everyone has a right to speculate about the causes behind what can be seen on video and audio. CNN can speculate on Russian Trump collusion with that not being factually verifiable, and others can speculate on whether the twin towers collapse was due to planes flying into them or due to demolition explosives planted in their bases. No analyst has the monopoly on truth… not even you… shocking as that may sound to you.
People who tell the truth do not have a monopoly on truth either. People can be truthful/honest but sincerely mistaken. You don’t have the right to impose your perception of truth on everyone else and to shut down speech that you perceive as false. No one does… and especially not news media and politicians, who are the least trusted, and arguably the least trustworthy, demographics in the USA.
Yes, the ones telling the truth have a monopoly on it. The liars do not as by definition, they are not dispensing the truth.

There is a difference between “Freedom of Speech” and actively promoting nonsense.
Name one US citizen who tells the truth and has a monopoly on truth.
So, do you believe everything Sean ever says is true?
I believe everything Sean says should be talked about as if it is true.

In my heart I have so little influence in Caesar’s world that I do what I think impacts it in the most positive way. In my daily walk, I’m given my personal opportunity and it is my sincerest hope, He is well pleased. I may have trouble in between the two and I do appreciate YO.
Allegedly planted by Russians…
LOL. Listen to yourself. "There is a difference between “Freedom of Speech” and actively promoting nonsense.
Freedom of speech includes the right to actively promote nonsense. That’s why the MSM have been allowed to actively promote the Trump Russia collusion hoax for the last three years

The President does not need to actively promote nonsense in order to promote Free Speech.
Also… you should read the Mueller Report.
What you think is nonsense may, in fact, be correct. You are not infallible. Nor are you omniscient. You need a dose of intellectual humility, brother.
Authoritarians make dangerous leaders.

Pizzagate and QAnon are nonsense.
Doesn’t take much courage to recognize that.
There is zero reason for the President of the United to give adherents to fantasy a platform to gripe about how their nonsense is not being listened to.
Again, it is your opininion that every aspect of Pizzagate and every aspect of QAnon are nonsense. Your pronouncements are not truth just because you pronounce them in an absolutist tone.
The President believes in freedom of speech. That is a very good reason to give adherents to alternative views a platform to gripe about their voices being actively censored by platforms who have claimed they are a public square and are reaping financial benefits from being designated as such.

Nope… It is fact that there is not a huge pedophile ring run by the Clintons out of a Pizza Parlor basement that has no basement.
It is a fact that JFK Jr is in fact dead and not coming back to support Donald Trump.
The President has no business giving the time of day to nonsense peddlers who are complaining about free access to someone else’s private platform.

Your authoritarian approach is duly noted, but is not endorsed. Freedom of speech means the right to say what I think and to allow you to spout the nonsense you think. Freedom of speech looks nothing like the strident intolerant censoriousness exhibited by the Left and it’s ragtag fellowship of globalist fellow-travelers…

The people involved have every right to believe and talk about any stupid thing that they want to. I have no problem with that.
My criticism is of the President elevating nonsense to the level of the Office of the Executive, giving it credence. It would be akin to him having a Flat Earth Conference.
The rest of your post is like an internet conspiracy Boggle game. Shake up the Boggle set and use what ever random words seem to fit.
Nothing funnier than leftists talking about fake news after two years of fake collusion stories, and 40 years of global warming is going to kill us next decade stories…
