Trump is shamelessly exploiting the death of Charlie Kirk to try to destroy his opposition. We cannot let him.

FCC Chair Brendan Carr split from the GOP's social media crackdown after Charlie Kirk's killing.
“I think you can draw a pretty clear line, and the Supreme Court has done this for decades, that our First Amendment, our free speech tradition, protects almost all speech,” Carr told us.
