Whatever happened to free speech went with whatever happened to free speech. Now, you get arrested for speaking a word that goes against the general norms. That’s what transpired with former Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe. He spoke about the MAGA (Make America Great Again) movement. He spoke about what MAGA does for the country. He called it a Nazi movement.
And the next thing? He gets arrested for demonstrating democracy! He even went on to say that the swastika was replaced by a red hat. All this happened before a meeting at the Huntington Beach City Council. Chris Kluwe was arrested there for joining other residents who spoke against the MAGA slogan. Chris Kluwe was arrested because of his anti-MAGA rant.
“MAGA stands for trying to erase trans people from existence, MAGA stands for resegregation and racism,” says former punter of the Minnesota Vikings, Chris Kluwe
To those unversed, here’s ex-Vikings Punter Chris Kluwe’s (free)speech:
“
Hi, my name is Chris Kluwe, a 15-year HB resident. I’m here to speak out against both the plaque and the current city council. As the community made clear at the library commission meeting last Tuesday, everyone is in favor of a plaque to celebrate at the library. But the vast, vast majority are against it, including a MAGA acrostic. Unfortunately, it’s clear that this council does not listen. So, instead, I’m gonna take my time to say what MAGA has stood for these past three weeks.MAGA stands for trying to erase trans people from existence. MAGA stands for resegregation and racism. MAGA stands for censorship and book bans. MAGA stands for firing air traffic controllers while planes are crashing. MAGA stands for firing the people overseeing our nuclear arsenal. MAGA stands for firing military veterans and those serving them at the VA, including canceling research on veteran suicide. MAGA stands for cutting funds to education, including for disabled children. MAGA is profoundly corrupt, unmistakably anti-democracy, and most importantly, MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement. You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is. I will now engage in the time-honored American tradition of peaceful civil disobedience.”
