What was Jonathan Turley's response to Margaret Brennan's suggestion that free speech led to the genocide of Jews?
Jonathan Turley strongly disagreed with Brennan's assertion, stating he 'almost spit out my coffee' upon hearing it. He emphasized that the Nazis' first action was actually to suppress free speech, not promote it. Turley argued that 'censorship is the harbinger of authoritarianism' and that the Nazis recognized free speech as 'the enemy of totalitarian rule.' He criticized the notion that free speech invites fascism as an 'old saw used by the anti-free speech movement,' particularly in Germany, suggesting that history demonstrates the opposite relationship between free expression and authoritarian regimes.
