Yesterday I was told "I love free speech but not for our enemies" Who can look at J6 & say all of these people should be pardoned but PERMANENT RESIDENT at Columbia should be deported?? Violence is not OK, but the hypocrisy from the current regime is INSANE. Where's the "free speech absolutism"?

Elon Musk was here illegally when he started his first business. He very likely obtained his citizenship through fraud. And yet he is now a Republican. He, himself, is living proof that he’s full of shit.
