Today, Congresswoman Kat Cammack issued the following statement about the censorship of free speech on social media platforms following the lifetime ban of President Trump on social media.

"The right of free speech is a cornerstone of our Republic and any free society. When an organization eliminates an individual's ability to freely debate, those institutions trample on the most important work of our Founding Fathers.

"Conservatives have grown unacceptably and unrightfully accustomed to censorship by Big Tech over the past few years. The blatant hypocrisy of a duly elected national leader being removed from social media platforms, while those same platforms continue to allow vitriol from known terrorist leaders and authoritarian dictators around the globe, must not be ignored.

"This is an issue that will affect everyone, regardless of political ideology, but we as conservatives must continue to lead on it and find meaningful solutions for every American."
