MRC President L. Brent Bozell lauded newly inaugurated U.S. President Donald Trump for prioritizing free speech.

During his inauguration speech, Trump promised to “sign an executive order to immediately stop all government censorship and bring back free speech to America.” Bozell thanked Trump in an X post Monday for this promise.

“America was founded on freedom of speech. MRC's Free Speech America has been the leader in fighting censorship and the weaponization of the federal government for 8 years,” Bozell stated. 

He also highlighted the MRC-led Free Speech Alliance’s efforts at combating online censorship and fighting for the First Amendment. “Our Free Speech Alliance has over 100 groups who join us in that fight daily. Thank you, President Trump for bringing free speech back to our great nation!” Bozell concluded.

In contrast to Trump’s free speech pledge, now-former President Joe Biden repeatedly pushed for censorship during his farewell address, and his administration will likely be remembered as the most censorship-prone, anti-free speech in modern U.S. history. 

MRC tracks Big Tech censorship on its unique CensorTrack database, including numerous cases of the Biden administration pressuring platforms to censor constitutionally-protected American speech.

Conservatives are under attack. Contact your representatives and demand Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment and provide transparency. If you have been censored, contact us at the Media Research Center contact form, and help us hold Big Tech accountable.
