"The history of intellectual growth and discovery clearly demonstrates the need for unfettered freedom, the right to think the unthinkable, discuss the unmentionable, and challenge the unchallengeable."
Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) chaired a joint subcommittee hearing today examining free speech on college campuses.
Former FBI Director James Comey misled the American people during last year's presidential campaign when he referred to the Clinton email scandal as a "matter," not an investigation. He did it willfully. He did it intentionally. And he did it at the direction of Attorney General Loretta Lynch.
Of the legislation, Rep. Jordan said:
Americans are, on average, wealthier, healthier, and better-educated than we ever have been. We've made huge strides in civil rights and racial equality. We have access to technology that would have awed past generations.
But fundamentally, our culture and way of life has undergone some changes that are not necessarily positive.
