Howard Dean Doubles Down on Misinterpretation of First Amendment – Townhall

Former Vermont governor and Democratic presidential candidateHoward Dean offered his flawed interpretation of the First Amendment last week during the Ann Coulter-Berkeley controversy. The schoolcancelled Coulter's scheduled appearanceon campus after they decided the conservative speaker would createtoo dangerous of an environment. They then re-invited her, but rescheduled her speech. Coulter insists she's coming on the original date - this Thursday.

Between all the back and forth, Dean defended Berkeley's initialdecision to nix the speech,tweeting that "hate speech" is not protected by the Constitution. Putting aside the fact that Dean thinks conservatism amounts to hate speech,Guy explained just howwrong Dean was - not to mention hypocritical.Dean once joked that Trump peddled drugs.

Instead of admitting his mistake and saving face, Dean is doubling down on his ridiculous tweet.

"It's actually true" the First Amendment does not protect hate speech, he said on MSNBC Sunday.

Sigh.

Again, this constitutional scholar was a governor and ran for president.
