Missouri AG: 45-Plus Biden Officials Targeted ‘God-Given Right’ of First Amendment

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt on Fox News characterized nearly four dozen officials in the Biden administration as working against the First Amendment’s “fundamental, God-given right to express ourselves.” 

“It’s important to take a step back and recognize that the First Amendment protects our fundamental, God-given right to express ourselves, right, to state an opinion, even if somebody doesn’t like it,” Schmitt said during an appearance Saturday on Fox News’s Unfiltered with Dan Bongino. “That’s what the First Amendment’s all about.”

Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry filed a lawsuit in May, which apparently uncovered what Schmitt calls a “vast censorship enterprise” between Big Tech and the federal government. Fox News reported that Schmitt and Landry can move ahead with depositions of Biden officials, including National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, and the FBI.
