CNN Threatens Reddit User For Exercising Free Speech | #CNNBlackmail [video only]
YouTube.com ^ | Jul 4, 2017 | Stefan Molyneux

As America celebrated Independence Day, the Internet exploded following allegations that CNN threatened and coerced the Reddit user behind the popular Donald Trump/CNN Wrestling meme into silence for exercising his first amendment rights. In an article by CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski, it is detailed how Reddit user HanA**holeSolo “apologized for calls for violence against the press,” took down all his social media posts, begged for his identity not to be released an promised he wouldn’t engage in any similar behavior. The article noted that CNN agreed not to release his name, but “reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.”

It will be the last time they do. CNN is going out of business after this.

Threatening harm against another is a crime.
Threatening a 15 year old is child abuse.
Threatening 1st Amendment rights is hatred.

Doing all of this across state lines is a felony.

Today, we are all HanA**holeSolo!

General Sessions, Julian Assange stated that CNN has committed a Federal felony violation of 18 U.S. Code § 241 in relation to the 1st Amendment. Do you have any response?

CNN is….well….breaking the law is something we should all….take seriously.....I guess….but, taking action against CNN……well…..that’s a big decision you know………..

I....I....am sorry....but I have to Recuse myself from this.......

The Media and the Deep State will close ranks behind CNN. Nothing will come of this. Nothing.

The Media and the Deep State are after Trump and they will let nothing stand in the way of instituting the Global Neo-Marxist One World Government.

Be ready.

Needs to happen. They need to be finished once and for all over this.

When I saw that a particular Reddit user was taking credit for that video, I knew someone was going to come after him.

Wow if it’s a 15 year old boy!

Can we confirm that?

If so, then CNN has some real problems.
