Republican Congressman Pushes Legislation To Make Gag Orders Illegal To Protect Trump

Republican Representative Andy Ogles is so angry about the gag order against Donald Trump that he is pushing legislation that would make ALL gag orders ILLEGAL in this country. Ogles is part of a Congress that has achieved the least amount of accomplishments in the history of this country, and THIS is the kind of legislation that he is focusing on, rather than actually trying to do something to help the country. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Republican Congressman Andy Ogles from the great state of Tennessee, has put forward legislation that would put an end to gag orders in the United States. You know, I, I don't know what really sparked this for Mr. Ogles, why gag orders would be on his mind, but he did, of course, make an appearance at Donald Trump's criminal trial in Manhattan last week. So I'm sure he was thinking very intently about gag orders. So he goes back to Washington DC after that and drafts a piece of legislation called the Let Trump Speak Act, which would prohibit judges from issuing gag orders to defendants in any criminal or civil proceedings.

And in an interview with Fox News host Maria Bart Romo Ogle said this about his piece of legislation specifically designed to kiss Donald Trump's. He said, well, what this bill does is it creates a prohibition on these gag orders that are clearly politically motivated and a right of action so he could sue because his rights are being violated. And so with that, you know, we, we were there. You can tell that this trial is nothing more than a political witch hunt. And so enough is enough. Trump should be acquitted. He should be back on the campaign trail, and that's it. They're trying to keep Trump off of the campaign trail and keeping him tied up in court.

Andy Ogles is a part of a Congress that statistically speaking, has accomplished less, passed fewer bills than any other Congress in the history of the United States. 22 bills last year they passed. They have put us on the brink of five government shutdowns. Some of them averted with only minutes to spare. And this SOB thinks the best use of his time is to draft legislation, to ban gag orders in, in trials. We have people that cannot afford their medication. Here in the United States, we have people living on the streets. When we have a glut of empty houses, we have climate change knocking on. It's not even knocking on our door. It is burst through the front door. We have disasters, we have catastrophes, we have economic problems, we have rights being taken away from actual citizens, millions of them. And this piece of garbage from Tennessee is wasting his time drafting legislation to tickle trump's balls. I'm sorry, but that's all I can say about it because that's what this is. And

Yes, it me off and it ought to off everybody listening to this right now because again, we have very serious problems happening in this country every day. And our Congress, Republican controlled Congress has done nothing to address any of 'em. Instead, what they're doing is they're holding bogus hearings. That's the real witch hunt to try to smear President Biden. They're traveling back and forth from Manhattan to just make sure they can kiss Trump's in person at his trial. And now they're going back to DC drafting legislation to try to protect him. When you don't have people like Jim Jordan trying to launch investigations into the state's prosecuting Trump, it is pathetic. It is sickening, and these people are nothing short of disgusting.
