Her point is that there is societal pressure to not say everything someone might want to say. Colloquially, however, the government cannot police her speech which is often referred to as ?freedom of speech? and still legally exists in the U.S. today.

Freedom of speech is for every American citizen regardless of race or religion. At is pandering to a crowd once again.

This is inflammatory rhetoric. She assumes everyone knows what she's talking about. (I don't.) This type of attacking without context is disturbing and is not factual under our laws. Cancel culture isn't equal to freedom of speech.

There is no limitation on the freedom of speech of Muslim women who are members of Congress. The document expressly forbids Congress from passing such a law. Source: U.S. Constitution (

This refers to Ilhan Omar, whom has the freedom of speech and has not been banned/censored on any social media platforms It?d be more accurate to say ?Freedom of speech doesn?t exist for Trump? as he was banned from social media sites subjectively without benefit of doubt

Rep. Tlaib could have provided context here and could clarify if she believes the reprimand directed at Rep. Omar to be a true infringement of Rep. Omar?s First Amendment rights.

Her point is that POC members of Congress are held to different standards than white members of Congress. She isn't literally saying the first amendment doesn't exist or isn't applied.

Gaslighting the emotional base, to cause rancor. All citizens have First Amendment rights. Asking an elected official for clarification of their statement, or disagreeing with it, is not violating their right.

Rep. Tlaib is very clearly taking poetic license to make a point about the public response by House Democrats to Rep. Omar's comments about Israeli war crimes.

She's responding to the backlash Rep. Ilhan Omar received for claiming that the U.S. & Israeli have committed atrocities on par with those by Hamas and the Taliban, and that the U.S. and Israel aren't held accountable. Rashida Tlaib is overgeneralizing, but it's not misleading.

A denunciation of a statement is not taking away someone's right to free speech.

She is posting, via Twitter, that she is not being allowed freedom of speech, as a muslim woman, as an elected official, and as a US citizen. On Twitter. Link to sources? Um, her tweet is literally right here.

The First Amendment protects speech of all Americans regardless of race or religion.
