Washington Post: “The phrase ‘legitimate political discourse’ did not appear in an original draft of the resolution by top Trump ally David Bossie… Instead, Bossie’s version said the committee had a disregard for ‘minority rights’ and ‘due process’ and seemed ‘intent on advancing a political agenda to buoy the Democrat Party’s bleak electoral prospects.’”
“It is unclear how the words ‘legitimate political discourse’ came to enter the document.”
