The Trump-FOX-GOP does not understand the First Amendment.

They think free speech only applies to hate speech and right-wing lies.

I assume (hope) the TV stations will not pull the ad.
The law is well settled.

In NYTimes v. Sullivan, the Court held that when the speech concerns a public figure, it isn't even enough for it to just be false; there must have been reckless disregard for truth. . .

That means that Trump has no legal argument, since they were his words. His case has NO merit. He's just trying to bully.

I guess that means we shouldn't all retweet this ad, right?
