Mr. President, I rise today in defense of one of the most sacred pillars of our democracy, the freedom of speech. Last Saturday, President Donald Trump declared on social media that comedian Seth Meyers jokes about him were, quote, 100% anti Trump. Which is probably illegal. That's right, illegal. The President thinks it's probably illegal to make jokes about him on television, that what Seth Meyers was doing is illegal. No more jokes about the President. (00:12–00:26)
