Free Speech Party Kicks Woman Out For Speaking Freely

THE TOP RANKING REPUBLICAN IN HAWAII MIGHT NOT BE A
REPUBLICAN FOR THAT MUCH LONGER, BECAUSE SHE MADE THE
EXTREMELY POORLY CONSIDERED CHOICE OF CRITICIZING ARE NEW KING.
LET'S WATCH.
DO WE NOT HAVE IT?
TALKING ABOUT BETH FUKIMOTO, THE LEADER OF REPUBLICANS IN THE
HAWAII SENATE, SHE SAID IF YOU FOLLOW WHAT HAPPENED AT THE
STATE CONVENTION IN MAY OF LAST YEAR I GOT BOOED FOR 10
MINUTES FOR RAISING CONCERNS ABOUT DONALD TRUMP AND THE WAY HE
TREATED WOMEN AND MINORITIES IN HIS REMARKS.
AT THE TIME I SAID THIS SHOULD NOT REFLECT OUR PARTY.
SHE THEN WENT TO THE WOMEN'S MARCH EQUIVALENT IN HAWAII AND
REITERATED THOSE SAME SENTIMENTS.
SHE SAYS SINCE THEN THERE HAVE BEEN MANY CALLS FOR MY RESIGNATION
AND MY CAUCUS MEMBERS HAVE RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT WHETHER THAT
MEANS I'M REPUBLICAN, WHETHER OR NOT THAT MEANS I'M FIT FOR
LEADERSHIP, WHETHER THAT MEANS I SHOULD EVEN BE AN ELECTED OFFICIAL.
APPARENTLY AFTER SPEAKING WITH OTHER REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF THE
STATE LEADERSHIP, SHE SAID THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD KEEP ME IN THIS
POSITION IF I WOULD COMMIT TO NOT DISAGREEING WITH OUR
PRESIDENT FOR THE REMAINDER OF HIS TERM.
SHE SAYS MR.
SPEAKER, I'M BEING REMOVED BECAUSE I REFUSE TO
MAKE THAT COMMITMENT, BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT IS OUR JOB AS AMERICANS
AND AS LEADERS OF THIS BODY TO CRITICIZE POWER WHEN POWER IS WRONG.
THAT'S PRETTY AMAZING.
NO CRITICISM OF HIM FOR THE REMAINDER OF HIS TERM ON ANY TOPIC.
IN HAWAII, WHICH IS NOT -- THAT'S NOT DEEP ALABAMA.
THERE IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT SORT OF SET OF
POLITICAL OPINIONS BETWEEN REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS.
WHAT HAPPENS TO THOSE FREE-SPEECH INDIVIDUALS WHO RALLY FREE
SPEECH, SO THEY WILL SHOW UP AT COLLEGE CAMPUSES AND SAY THE
MOST PROVOCATIVE THINGS THEY DON'T EVEN BELIEVE, AND AS SOON AS
SOMEONE PROTESTS THEY HAVE A HISSY FIT?
ARE THEY UPSET WITH WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THIS REPRESENTATIVE?
MAYBE THEY DON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING THEY FUCKING SAY AND THEY
DON'T VALUE FREE SPEECH WHATSOEVER.
IT'S BLIND DEVOTION TO THE LEADER, THAT KILLS PARTIES EVENTUALLY
BUT IT TAKES A WHILE AND IT'S UGLY WELL IT'S HAPPENING.
WE TALK A LOT ABOUT AUTHORITARIANISM AND THE
AUTHORITARIAN PERSONALITY IN AMERICA, THAT IS A WIDE
GRADIENT OF POTENTIAL OUTCOMES FROM WANTING TO TOTALLY END
DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA DOWN TO SIMPLY THINKING AUTHORITY FIGURES
ARE THEREFORE REASON AND YOU DON'T GO AGAINST THEM.
THAT CAN TAKE PLACE IN STATE GOVERNMENTS OR IN AS SMALL A SCALE
AS AN INDIVIDUAL FAMILY WHERE THE FATHER IS IN A POSITION OF
AUTHORITY OVER THE REST OF THE FAMILY INCLUDING THE MOTHER,
AND THIS HAS EFFECTS THROUGHOUT SOCIETY AND GOVERNMENT AND
NOW SOME REPUBLICANS REALIZE IT IS AFFECTING THEM AS WELL.
BETH FUKIMOTO WROTE A LETTER SAYING SHE WILL TAKE FEEDBACK FROM HER
CONSTITUENTS, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY SHE MIGHT SWITCH TO THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY ALTHOUGH SHE WOULD LOSE MINORITY LEADER STATUS
AS A RESULT --
IT WOULD BE NICER TO STAY IN HER PARTY AND CHANGE THEM AND SORT OF
CHANGE THAT, IF SHE COULD.
THERE IS NO HOPE IN CHANGING THEM.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING, HAVE THAT DISSENTING VOICE, THAT'S GREAT.
BUT I UNDERSTAND WHY SHE WOULDN'T WANT TO BE THERE, AND THERE
IS ALSO NO HOPE.
I WAS JUST SAYING IT WOULD BE NICE.
WE WANT TO GIVE CREDIT TO HER, WE TRY TO NOTICE WHEN
REPUBLICANS DO THE SORT OF RISKY POLITICAL THING OF GOING
AGAINST DONALD TRUMP, WE GAVE MARCO RUBIO CREDIT WHEN HE BRIEFLY
GREW A BIT OF A SPINE DURING SOME OF THE NOMINATION QUESTIONS, BUT NOT
THE NOMINATION VOTES, FOR CABINET HEARINGS, AND IT IS A RARE THING.
WE DON'T SEE A LOT OF IT BUT WE HAVE SUSAN COLLINS AND LISA
MURKOWSKI SAYING THEY WILL GO AGAINST BETSY DEVOS, NOW YOU
HAVE THIS HAPPENING IN HAWAII, AND AS HE GROWS MORE AND MORE
UNPOPULAR WE MIGHT SEE MORE OF IT.
WE WANT PEOPLE TO DO WHAT LINDSEY GRAHAM SAYS HE WILL DO BUT NEVER
DOES.
JOHN MCCAIN AS WELL.
