In a recent episode of The Nightly Nuge, Ted Nugent spoke with Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach about censorship and how conservatives are being denied First Amendment rights. The rocker explained:
“Well for an overview you know I’m on my last tour ‘Adios Mofo 23’ and it’s the greatest tour of my life. I’m having so much fun but I’m inspired every night, attorney general Kris Kobach meeting with good hard-working kicker families. People who work hard and they rock hard they’re a sportsman they’re a conservative, they stand up for God, family country.”
He continued:
“They try to get their friends and co-workers people at church and school to vote for conservative values and they feel so frustrated. They’re afraid to speak out because their business will be attacked they could be fired they’d be ostracized because the power of the government big Tech, Academia, Hollywood all these forces with the largest powers will shut down people just for speaking their mind.
In a previous episode of The Nighly Nuge Ted had shared that Facebook had ‘censored’ him with claims that they were ‘fact-checking’ him. He also mentioned Vimeo for removing his podcast from the platform for violating their streaming policy.
During the episode, Ted revealed that Facebook and Vimeo disagreed with his opposing political views and removed his content from their platforms. He added that this wasn’t about ‘fact-checking,’ but that he was stripped away from his First Amendment rights.
However, Ted also pointed out to Kobach that Facebook is currently under fire for taking away users First Amendment rights by saying:
“In fact, [Mark] Zuckerberg has already been sued because his fact checkers admitted they’re not checking any facts. They’re just inserting opinions yet they continue to shut down other people’s opinions even if we have the evidence to support the facts that we believe in.”
But, the singer also asked the Attorney General how the conservative American people get back to freely voicing their opinions. He added:
“What is the next move? How can we how can we get back to public speaking in the New Town Square which is social media that’s a First Amendment right? It’s why the founding fathers wrote it down because King George would send his henchmen if you said something that King George didn’t like. Are we not back in the throngs in the control of a King George?”
