Rep. Frederica Wilson has no love for social media’s meme-makers and pranksters — she literally wants them prosecuted.
The Florida Democrat weighed in on free speech issues this week and told an audience that it should be illegal to mock lawmakers.
“Those people who are online making fun of members of Congress are a disgrace,” she said while speaking in Homestead. “We’re gonna shut them down and work with whoever it is to shut them down, and they should be prosecuted. You cannot intimidate members of Congress, frighten members of Congress. It is against the law, and it’s a shame in this United States of America.”

What a nutcase.
But if you have ever seen a photo of this dingbat, you already know. Several screws loose.
And THAT is no joke.

Don't click on that link unless you have a barf bag handy. What we need laws against are photos like that one.

Dem gerrymandering, at its finest. Perhaps, Frederica, you might want to consider another line of work?

So do we arrest all editorial cartoonists? Or are we only going after private citizens who mock idiots like this venomous harridan?

Okay, I'll agree with her as long as she agrees to ban anyone with an IQ below 60 from public office.

She ALWAYS has on a ridiculous, too small, sequinned costume cowboy hat. She must have dozens and dozens.
Deranged.

I'm guessing that Rep Wilson is going to include an exception allowing ridicule of President Trump, Republicans, and other deplorables.

Yeah huh. Has Frederica ever visited a homeless shelter in FL ? Give a damn that American seniors get less from SS than unwed mothers and illegals with anchor babies receive on food stamps?

Here's a deal for you honey, stop acting like stupid, brain-damaged clowns and people won't laugh at you. Otherwise, we elect you and we own you. Now go put on some respectable clothes and do your job.

Lawmakers like Frederica should be prosecuted and put in jail for the crimes they commit against American citizens. How 'bout that? Talk about against the law and frightening. Child, please.

I think most “liberals” would be on board with this if not for the First Amendment.

And a certain "demographic" wonders why we laugh at and ridicule their elected representatives.
The aggregate IQ of the CBC would not reach three digits.

Apparently she wants to put about 9,500 hundred US Border Patrol Agents in jail for stating their political opinions of a private Facebook site.

If she can't read the First Amendment she certainly can't be expected to read the rest of the U.S. Constituion which she has sworn the oath to uphold. So the question is why is she even seated in the U.S. Congress in the first place?

Nos 23 and 28, apparently this fascist pig of a Florida Representative has not heard of "freedom of speech" and is truly dangerous herself.......probably never heard of The Constitution of The United States of America.
