Rep. Frederica Wilson: People who make fun of members of Congress online should be “prosecuted”

Democrat Rep. Frederica Wilson thinks that people who are “making fun of members of Congress” online “should be prosecuted.”

“Those people who are online making fun of members of Congress are a disgrace and there is no need for anyone to think that is unacceptable,” Wilson said during a press conference. “We are going to shut them down and work with whoever it is to shut them down, and they should be prosecuted.”

Daily Wire:

Democrat Rep. Frederica Wilson led a congressional delegation to inspect an immigrant detention facility on Tuesday and following her visit she said that people who are “making fun of members of Congress” online “should be prosecuted.”

“They went inside around 1 p.m. with the purpose of investigating the conditions that migrant children are living in,” CBS Miami reported. “Joining Wilson was fellow South Florida Rep. Donna Shalala (FL-27), Rep. Bennie Thompson (MA-02), Rep. Brenda Lawrence (MI-14), Rep Yvette Clarke (NY-09), Rep. Katherine Clark (MA-05), Rep. John Lewis (GA-05) and Rep. Madeleine Dean (PA-04).” More

Do you know what the solution is? To make fun of her online five times as much.

Twitter explodes:

Having an opinion is against the law? Huh? What else will Democrat’s outlaw? No one threatens Congress. This is crazy talk. ????????

So I assume that she would also support prosecution of people making fun of the President of the United States of America!

That ain’t how free speech works lady. This is America. We know you don’t like the constitution and the rights it protects for American citizens. But you do have to abide by and recognize them.

Exactly. 20% approval rating. We pay their salaries. It is still a free country. We can complain if we want.

Looks like she’s insane. And she dresses funny. And her voice is weird. And what’s with that silly hat?

Will this get me a visit from law enforcement?
