Elon Musk, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, and more blasted former Democrat presidential candidate John Kerry who said during a recent event that the “First Amendment stands as a major block” to stamping out “disinformation” in the United States.
Speaking to the World Economic Forum (WEF) on Green Energy, Kerry said “if Democrats” can win the 2024 election the party can “change” the 1st Amendment to fight what he labeled “disinformation.”
“But look, if people only go to one source, and the source they go to is sick, and, you know, has an agenda, and they’re putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands as a major block to be able to just, you know, hammer it out of existence,” Kerry said. “So what we need is to win the ground, win the right to govern, by hopefully winning enough votes that you’re free to be able to implement change.”

Reacting to clips of Kerry’s comments, the billionaire owner of X (formerly known as Twitter) Musk, wrote that “John Kerry is saying he wants to violate the Constitution.”
He followed it up with a second post agreeing with another person who wrote that, if former President Donald Trump loses the election, “it will be the last one,” adding “And they will destroy the Constitution.”
The former Democrat-turned-independent presidential candidate RFK Jr. wrote, “John Kerry is correct. The 1st Amendment DOES stand as a major roadblock to them right now.”
Dr. Jordan Peterson added, “I don’t know how @JohnKerry can say such things without bursting into flames.”
Another person continued, “John Kerry says the quiet part out loud. ‘The 1st Amendment stands as a major roadblock for us right now.’ The 1A and the entire Bill of Rights was designed as a ‘roadblock’ against a tyrannical government. It’s a feature, not a bug.”
While a fifth person wrote, “John Kerry explaining how free speech stands in the way of consensus around the WEF’s preferred narrative, describes how governments will need to stamp out voices that dissent.”
Others pointed out that when “a man at the very top of the Democratic Party — a former Democratic presidential candidate — no longer even pretends to believe in the First Amendment. Watch and be afraid.”
