SPLC’s Cohen: ‘Spectacularly Bad Idea’ to Let One Group Silence Another Group

RUSH EXCERPT:

COHEN: "I think it’s a spectacularly bad idea to give one group of people the right to silence another group of people. It’s contrary to our values embodied in the First Amendment. It’s likely to drive the people who are trying to censor underground where they may resort to illegal means to express themselves like bombs. And lastly, it’s likely to lead to a terrible spiral. We saw that in Berkeley, the antifa came and shut down a speech. The next time the white nationalists brought their own private army. And so where does something like that stop? Yesterday in Boston, you know, when we saw thousands and thousands of people peacefully protest, that seemed like a much stronger answer to white supremacy than clubs and guns."
