Title is obviously not word for word quote due to title length reqs. HNers of the USA - How can we just... Let this happen? It falls within free speech AFAIK. Is free speech a bad thing then? I really have no answers. I hope some of you find this at least slightly thought provoking, whatever those thoughts may be.

  He's asking how we can let the president knowingly lie and spread misinformation on a public platform. Misinformation and "lie" are not strong enough words. This is horseshit.

Free speech is like air, bad guys use it too. As for compassion and conscience, these things seem to have died in political discourse quite a while ago.

Free speech is protection from the government. This is libel, the victim could take POTUS to civil court over this.
