You know that.Such is the authoritarian right and conservatives’ contempt for the First Amendment; and yet another reprehensible example of Republicans seeking to compel conformity and silence dissent.I love our Governor. He has the right set of values. If that BLM and ANTIFA filth brings their terrorism here they are going to get more than they bargained for.
