Wallace: “Anyone, anyone with the profound privilege of sitting in a chair like this one, felt something shift over the last 16 hours, because this afternoon it is abundantly clear to everyone, not just people who sit in chairs like this one, but every single American, that the First Amendment in the hands of this current administration isn’t what it used to be. It does not protect an individual’s right to speak freely. That right, endowed by the Founders, enshrined in the Constitution, fought for, bled for over the course of centuries, is markedly different. It is diminished today, leaving everyone, journalists and citizens alike, to wonder, where are we and what happens now?”
