This is what Obama wanted to do through Biden and Kamala.
Except it was a MAGA sheriff that actually did it

This was an unfortunate isolated local incident. What Obama had in mind was something with a little more overreach, a little more centralized, and big brotherish.
Like the FCC Chair going on TV and telling network affiliates to cancel Jimmy Kimmel's show?
This was not a First Amendment violation. The FCC Chair did not issue formal orders, and ABC made the final decision to suspend the show. No court has ruled against the FCC Chair in this specific case.
Tell me, which formal orders did Barack Obama put forward to censor speech? If we're comparing apples to apples here.
The problem is that you get to darkly speculate about what the blue team REALLY wanted to do, but then when the red team's own actions are put up for review then it suddenly has to meet the exact legal definitions to pass muster. How about we apply the same standards across the board?
