Trump defender and reporter Brianna Lyman lashed out at CNN when anchor Abby Phillip showed her a clip of President Donald Trump announcing “We took the freedom of speech away” — a clip Lyman admitted she hadn’t seen.
Trump made the stunning declaration at a White House event devoted to his campaign against “Antifa”:
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: We took the freedom of speech away because that’s been through the courts and the court said you have freedom of speech but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds, they’ve never seen anything like it on both sides and you end up with riots.
So we’re going on that basis.
