flag Wyoming Sen. Cynthia Lummis now questions absolute free speech after Charlie Kirk’s assassination and rising political violence.

flag Wyoming Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis has reversed her long-standing support for the First Amendment as an absolute right, citing the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk and rising political violence as key factors. flag In an August 2025 interview, she said the cultural climate has changed, and unchecked speech that incites violence may warrant greater scrutiny, including potential government limits. flag Her comments follow her earlier co-sponsorship of the Free Speech Protection Act and support for FCC Chairman Brendan Carr’s threat to revoke ABC’s license over a critical monologue by Jimmy Kimmel. flag While some Republicans, including Ted Cruz, warn against censorship, Lummis’s shift reflects growing internal GOP debate over free speech, media accountability, and the real-world consequences of political rhetoric.
