Because he’s going to hand out permits for protests instead and then pretend that’s the organic response to the country on the anniversary. https://t.co/SSaUy8uqur

An Ugandan doesn’t want to celebrate America? Wow. That’s so weird because I’ve been assured that his paperwork made him just as American as George Washington.

“The First Amendment protects unpopular speech” morphed into “only unpopular speech is allowed”

And
“The constitution protects minority rights” became “the constitution only protects minorities.”

The decision to prohibit the public from attending the celebration comes after the socialist leader advanced an emergency order restricting the types of events that may take place in the city over the summer. Notably, the provision includes a carveout that will allow for his virulent leftist supporters to protest unabated.
