It kind of does. Within Congress the free speech still exists, but as a congressman, public comments should be kept neutral. ESPECIALLY when you're a muslim, dissing Israel. :lol:

Why do you hate America, sir?

Conservatives have zero interest in stopping her from talking

They want her to play with fire and they are salivating to exaggerate everything she is saying into antisemitism.

To feed right wingers like you that do not like muslims and like to play the victim

Unprincipled and hypocritical conservatives will exaggerate every single tweet or comment she makes her entire political career

TIL: Saying that AIPAC actually lobbies Congress is anti-Semitic.

only today? calling any criticism of israel "anti-semitic" has been around for ages now, it's a powerful tool against people who actually care about things like bigotry and racism...

Democrats should push back against mislabeling criticism for antisemitism but they have the problem of being hypocrites themselves and mislabeling conservatives racist and weaponizing it as well.

You having an opinion that comments should be kept neutral doesn't mean their right to make those comments goes away.

When they make them publicly, it does.
