I did,” replied Brennan. “That context was changing the tone, and you know that censorship was specifically about rights.”
“Well, I have to disagree with you. No, no, I have to disagree with you,” Rubio told Brennan. “Free speech was not used to implement genocide. Genocide was carried out by an authoritarian Nazi regime that happened to be slaughtered… Nazi Germany had no freedom of speech. .Nazi Germany also had no opposition…it’s not an accurate reflection of history.”
