Free speech for me but not for thee: Ice Barbie gets her undies in a bundle when Zach Bryan exercises his rights

Bottom headline: New York Times

Derrick Bryson Taylor reports on Misti Kristi fluency in Newspeak and her ability to sound like a kindergartner:

Asked on Tuesday by the right-wing podcaster Benny Johnson what she thought of Bryan’s lyrics, Noem replied that the song disrespected not only law enforcement officials but also “every single individual that has ever stood up and fought for our freedoms.” The song, Noem said, “attacks individuals who are just trying to make our streets safe.”
“Zach, I didn’t listen to your music,” she added. “I’m happy about that today.”
