Not according to Just Dance Vance. He said
I look to Brussels, where EU commissars warn citizens that they intend to shut down social media during times of civil unrest the moment they spot what they've judged to be, quote, 'hateful content'.
But then he also said (in the same speech that):
In Washington there is a new sheriff in town, and under Donald Trump's leadership, we may disagree with your views, but we will fight to defend your right to offer it in the public square, agree or disagree. ... Dismissing people, dismissing their concerns ... shutting down media, shutting down elections ... protects nothing. It is the most surefire way to destroy democracy.
So he's clearly a lying couch-f*cker.
