"What is the government action that the Trump administration has engaged in to kick Jimmy Kimmel or anybody else off the air? Zero. What government pressure have we brought to bear to tell people that they're not allowed to speak their mind? Zero. We believe in free speech in the Trump administration. We are fighting every single day to protect it."
"Now compare that to the Biden administration, where we found out just yesterday that conservatives on YouTube and on a number of social media platforms were being censored. Why? Because the Biden Administration picked up the phone and said, We want you to censor our political opponents. That is real government censorship, and it left the White House when Joe Biden left"
Vice President JD Vance addressed questions at a North Carolina rally about an FCC commissioner's social media comment and Jimmy Kimmel's monologue related to Charlie Kirk's shooter. Vance said the FCC commissioner's post was a joke and argued that no Trump administration action removed Kimmel or restricted speech. He said the Trump administration brought zero government pressure on media and asserted commitment to protecting free speech. Vance contrasted that with the Biden administration, alleging officials called platforms requesting censorship of conservatives on YouTube and other social networks.
