Yet Another Biden Appointee Has Called for Criminalizing Free Speech They Don’t Like

Conservative News DailyFebruary 25, 2023

How much does the Biden regime loathe the First Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of speech for Americans? Last year, it attempted to establish a Disinformation Governance Panel to restrain speech that is opposed to its agenda. But, it was stopped by the Supreme Court. Back down After public outcry. Then came Biden’s handlers. Collaboration With the Big Tech giants to silence any dissenters from regime’s COVID narrative. Maria Araujo Kahn (the regime’s nominee for Second Circuit Court of Appeals) is now a “diversity trainer” Who has called for the criminalization or speech she disagrees with to be punished. Does this administration have anyone who believes in freedom?

The Washington Free Beacon reported Friday, Kahn, currently associate justice at the Connecticut State Supreme Court was elected. “has argued for curtailing the First Amendment and conducted training sessions that say ‘microaggressions’ can ‘kill you.'” As is today’s fetid culture swamp. “microaggressions” These are Left-invented inventions. According to Left, the idea is that giving someone a unkind glance when asking for their pronouns, or appearing annoyed and bored during a windy and factless lecture about systemic racism is a serious crime that should be punished with anti-free expression legislation.

Even though it seems absurd, Kahn seems to be very serious about this, just as Leftists are. “Since 2013,” She has also given away the Free Beacon Notes “at least a dozen diversity trainings and presentations to lawyers across the country.” According to her Questionnaire for the Senate JudiciaryHer busy schedule has seen her offer the kind of presentations that make you want to have your teeth extracted with rusty tools and no anesthesia. Evidently, this one is very popular. “Turn Off Auto-Pilot: Cultural Competence, Implicit Association and Racial Anxiety,” she has caused to many hapless people. She must really pack ‘em in for that one.

The Free Beacon states that participants can prepare for one of the Fordham Law School trainings. They were instructed To see an animated version, click here video, ‘How Microaggressions Are Like Mosquito Bites,’ that depicts a man-sized mosquito telling a dark-hued college student to ‘try a less challenging major’ and then sucking him dry.” That Whitey! Where is a flyswatter when you need one? In this video, a voice intones: “Some mosquitoes carry truly threatening diseases that can mess up your life for years. And other mosquitos carry strains that can even kill you.” Yes, Whitey will stop at nothing: “The video then cuts to a mosquito holding a gun next to a dead body. ‘I felt threatened,’ the insect tells officers at the scene of the crime. ‘It looked like he was up to trouble, ok?'” Yeah, happens every day. But there is payback in Maria Araujo Kahn’s world: “Another clip depicts a black woman murdering several mosquitos with a flamethrower after they ask to touch her hair.” Ah, proportional justice at last!

Kahn also appears to be as earnest about restricting speech as she is about “microaggressions.” In a 2020 opinion, according to the Free Beacon, she suggested that “courts should criminalize speech that offends ‘oppressed groups.'” She wants to expand the “‘fighting words’ exception to the First Amendment—which bans speech likely to spark violence—on the grounds that some groups are unlikely or unable to physically retaliate against insults. That means they ‘must endure a higher level of offensive speech before being afforded legal remedies,’ she wrote.” Where are racial minorities being verbally abused on a regular basis in the U.S., as Kahn seems to assume is happening? She doesn’t say, but she nonetheless “laments that bigots can ‘verbally assault certain oppressed groups’—especially women and the disabled—’without fear of criminal prosecution.'” Yeah, once again, that happens every day.

Kahn, understandably enough given her fascism and disdain for dissent, “did not respond to a request for comment” from the Free Beacon. Yet last September, Kahn “sailed through the Senate judiciary committee with little pushback. A final vote on her nomination could come as soon as next week.” Will Senate Republicans ask her about her distaste for the freedom of speech? Will they challenge her on her commitment to the First Amendment? The Biden administration’s obvious opposition to the most important foundation of any free society ought to be the first and foremost element of the loyal opposition’s case against the regime. Yet Republican leaders rarely mention it at all. This only enables those who hate and want to destroy the freedom of speech to keep on advancing, largely unopposed.
