The overall message during this week’s Morning Joe’ is that Free Speach is okay, but it hurts women. Hey, hats off to the jackals for playing their part in the ‘it’s good when it fits the narrative’ game. The thing is, their argument that free speech is wrong because it hurts women isn’t just inaccurate, but it is blatant hypocrisy from a side that has spent the last year attacking women.
Liberals have tried to snuff out women in their gender sexuality nonsense. This new claim that free speech somehow hurts women is garbage and history says so. Women fought like hell to obtain the right to free speech. They then used, and continue to use, free speech to make their voices heard and push for change. So what is this stupid nonsense?
Just take a look below at the video as the ‘Morning Joe’ B-team tried to make this crazy case.

JO LING KENT: Some critics are concerned Musk’s pursuit of free speech will collide with growing safety problems on Twitter, especially for women and minorities. Do you trust Elon Musk to make Twitter better for women?
BRIANNA WU: No, I don’t trust Elon Musk to make Twitter better for women at all. I just absolutely don’t. If you’re asking yourself if this is someone that is going to go to bat for people that are underrepresented, I just don’t think that’s going to be the case, unfortunately.

JONATHAN LEMIRE: The politics of it are also interesting. Musk has become sort of embraced by many on the right. Some Trump supporters who had walked away from Twitter all made a flashy point of rejoining yesterday.
The former president said he’s not interested. I’m going to fact-check that. He’s interested. People around him have said that, yes, at some point, they do expect that he will come back onto Twitter. And some feel that especially because it’ll take time for the sale to get processed — that Musk will take over potentially late summer or the fall, just in time, if Trump were to return, ahead of the midterms, which would indeed be interesting. You know, in a sort of October surprise, which could cut one way or the other, either for helping the Democrats, or hurting them.
WILLIE GEIST: Mika, obviously, the relative quiet from former President Trump has been nice, but if he does go back onto Twitter, his thoughts, at least, will be out in the light of day.
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Yes, as you guys were talking about the midterms, Elisabeth started nodding, and saying, here we go, here we go. Your thoughts?
ELISABETH BUMILLER: Well I think yes, yes, we will fact-check his claim that he doesn’t want to go back on Twitter. I think it will be very hard for the former president to resist. He will weigh in on the midterms, all of his candidates against the Democrats, and I think we will be back where we were in 2018 and 2019. And I think there’s a lot of concern, obviously, among Democrats about this. As you see, you know, Musk has a lot of conservative supporters.
And yes, we all believe in free speech, but the guardrails that Twitter has put up: first of all, there’s not that many guardrails anyway.
MIKA: Exactly!
BUMILLER: And so, those are going to come down. And it’s also become, as we just saw in this clip, it’s become a platform for a lot of misogyny, a lot of — women get treated badly on Twitter.
MIKA: Hate speech, defamation, misogyny.
BUMILLER: I don’t see that changing at all.
