“This idea that Pennsylvania was ‘rigged’ or that we were ‘trying to steal the election,’ that’s a lie,” Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, a Democrat, told The Hill. “And you do not have the right, that is not protected speech.”
Twitter suspending President Donald Trump was not “de-platforming” but “deleting lies that are yelling ‘fire’ in a crowded theater when there is none,” Fetterman added.
“That is not protected speech. He can talk all day about what his favorite football team is or that he’s the greatest president in the history of the world, but no one—Republican, Democrat, or whatever—has the right to say those kind [sic] of incendiary lies.”

Fetterman’s comments came several days after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) proposed assembling a commission “to figure out how we rein in our media environment so that you can’t just spew disinformation and misinformation.”

“After I announced I’m looking at the U.S. Senate Race, everybody said they wanted some merchandise.
