Contrary to popular belief the American government doesn’t always allow free speech. For example in the past the government has prosecuted people for speech they didn’t want the public to be influenced by due to special circumstances, like wartime. But that was in the past and nowadays people associated with government will turn to propaganda in order to punish the speakers they would like to silence. Hillary Clinton recently said that Republicans are working with the Russians “who play a big role” in their election manipulation schemes to lie about Democrat candidates by using “the dark web” to “convince blacks not to vote.” She also said “they are grooming” Tulsi who is a “Russian asset” to run as a 3rd party candidate in order to split the vote to help Trump’s re-election.

The swift backlash against Hillary must have left her and the Neocon-Neoliberal establishment in the Clinton camp feeling shocked. Many in the media were acting surprised that Hillary would commit political hara-kiri like that, even though they were promoting the same smears right up to that day.
