KENNEDY READS AOC’S ENTIRE “SILENCE HIM” THREAD ON SENATE FLOOR – Chamber Went Dead Silent for 19 Seconds Straight
Senator John Kennedy walked to the podium carrying nothing but a single iPad and the calm of a man who’d already won.
He didn’t shout.
He just started reading.
“Tweet one, June 12, 2023, AOC:
‘John Kennedy is dangerous. He needs to be silenced before he hurts more people.’”
He scrolled.
“Tweet two, same day:
‘Silencing fascists isn’t censorship, it’s public safety.’”
“Tweet three:
‘If you defend free speech for bigots, you’re complicit.’”
Kennedy looked up, straight into the camera.
“Darlin’, the First Amendment doesn’t have an ‘unless I disagree’ clause.
You wrote it.
I just read it back to you.”
Nineteen seconds of pure marble silence.
AOC, watching from her office, went live on Instagram—then froze, mouth open, no words.
Kennedy kept scrolling:
“Tweet four, July 2023:
‘Book bans are violence.’
Same week you called for my Senate microphone to be cut.
