"I'm defending the 1st Amendment, you conservatives are attacking it!"

Yeah, that'll work.
Specifically, Lieu argued corporations have free speech rights and therefore should not be questioned about matters such as political bias. That makes sense given the Supreme Court’s Citizens United v. FCC decision articulating corporations’ rights under the First Amendment, but Lieu has been an outspoken critic of that decision, saying "corporations are not people."

He did not address Citizens United in his statement, and his office did not respond to multiple requests for comment on whether he has changed his position on it. Instead, Lieu again blamed Republicans for holding the Google hearing at all.

Response to Lieu:
You said you want to regulate speech (from your political opponents? Facts that hurt little snowflakes feelings? Jokes?), but to your disappointment, the first amendment is stopping you, so you're actively calling for Big Tech to do it on your behalf.
"Corporations are not people(except when I say they are!"  Wonderful, isn't it?
