Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct?

At year end, the dividing line in politics today is defined by dignity. Dignity is something that can't be taken away. It can only be surrendered voluntarily. We saw the most powerful business leaders willing to surrender dignity while everyday Americans stood tall.
