Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin just got schooled by British politician Nigel Farage in front of Congress. Raskin launched into a nasty attack calling Farage a “Putin-loving free speech impostor.” But Farage turned it right back on him with a perfect response that had the room laughing.
Farage was invited to testify about dangerous censorship laws in Britain. Instead of listening to his warnings about free speech threats, Democrats decided to attack the messenger. Raskin spent his time name-calling instead of focusing on the real issues facing Americans.
When Raskin finished his unhinged rant, Farage calmly thanked him. He said Raskin could say whatever he wanted because that’s what free speech means. The crowd loved seeing a true defender of liberty handle a Democrat bully with class and humor.
This is exactly what’s wrong with today’s Democrats. They can’t debate ideas so they resort to personal attacks and smears. Farage came to warn America about Britain’s slide toward authoritarianism, but Democrats would rather play political games.
Raskin’s meltdown showed everyone watching who really supports free speech. While Democrats try to silence their opponents, conservatives like Farage defend everyone’s right to speak. The contrast couldn’t be more clear to hardworking Americans.
The hearing was supposed to be about protecting American innovation and speech from European overreach. Instead, Democrats turned it into a circus to attack anyone who disagrees with their radical agenda. They proved Farage’s point about the threat to free expression.
Republicans invited Farage because they understand the dangers of censorship creeping into America. Democrats attacked him because they support the same authoritarian policies that are destroying Britain. The choice between freedom and control has never been more obvious.
Farage handled the Democrat attack perfectly and showed real leadership under fire. While Raskin threw a tantrum, Farage stayed calm and principled. That’s the difference between someone who truly believes in liberty and someone who just talks about it.
