Vivek Ramaswamy: “I know it's going to involve more speech, not less. I know…”

“I'll tell you what's the wrong answer. Backing down. Backing down is the wrong answer. But whatever the right answer is, and I don't have it tonight, but whatever the right answer is, I know it's going to involve more speech, not less. I know that it's going to involve doubling down on our culture of free speech rather than retreating from it. I know it involves speaking more of your convictions, not less of your convictions. I know it involves more courage, not more fear. I know that much.” (06:16–06:25)
