We told you this morning that Ted Cruz called out YouTube over their new censoring policies to ensnare conservatives like Steven Crowder.

Being an outspoken Republican Senator, his tweet got a lot of attention today. The first to snip at him was the racist that the New York Times hired for their editorial board last year named Sarah Jeong:

Listen up, TC, freedom has its limits. For example, it is a corporation’s god-given right to throw up two middle fingers and not pay for birth control. But to moderate content?! That goes too far. https://t.co/X78YiteqV9 — sarah jeong (@sarahjeong) June 6, 2019

Anyways, here’s to Ted Cruz’s strong moral stance extending to ISIS propaganda videos — sarah jeong (@sarahjeong) June 6, 2019

Ted Cruz’s opinions on the internet platforms is everything that’s wrong with American conservatism in this moment. Half-baked out-of-context pronouncements based on a Sparknotes summary of the Constitution and something he overheard someone say in a public restroom about CDA 230 — sarah jeong (@sarahjeong) June 6, 2019

Cruz hit right back, noting how unsurprising that leftist with her history would be in favor of YouTube censoring conservatives:

More than a little amusing: NYT Leftist editorial writer — who has a long & ugly history of sending racist tweets https://t.co/7sh2INRhDq — comes out in favor of YouTube censoring conservative speech she disagrees with. #GlassHouses https://t.co/pErmTHCrX8 — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) June 6, 2019







Boom!

Jeong said horrible things on Twitter years ago (screenshots) but wanted everyone to forgive her when she got hired by the New York Times. But when it comes to someone like Crowder who doesn’t nearly rise to the level that she did, she’s all in on the censorship.

The next one to hit him was the whiny former Media Matters leftist and now VOX crybaby who went after Crowder in the first place:

A U.S. senator is coming to the defense of someone who spent two years calling me a “lispy queer.” They do this because they know that @YouTube cares more about looking fair to right-wingers than it does about stopping hate speech and harassment. https://t.co/c7Fp1oOGWr — Carlos Maza (@gaywonk) June 6, 2019

Cruz responded by calling him out for his temper tantrum asking YouTube to protect him:

Sigh. This individual claims to be a “journalist.” Then he throws a fit & demands that YouTube CENSOR views he doesn’t like. Here’s a crazy idea: if you don’t like what @scrowder says, ARGUE AGAINST HIM. Make your case in what John Stuart Mill called the “marketplace of ideas.” https://t.co/uzhMqz3lv5 — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) June 6, 2019

“Journalists” should know this. As Benjamin Franklin observed, “Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech.” #FreeSpeech https://t.co/KgIkcG9OXq — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) June 6, 2019

DOUBLE BOOM!

Yeah he’s no journalist at all. He’s just a Media Matters has-been who is still pushing their agenda to silence conservatives who he doesn’t like. He’s not interested in a “marketplace of ideas” at all.
