Right-wing columnist Mike S. Adams decided to use his Twitter account to protest. He writes dumb things for disinformation websites like The Daily Caller and Town Hall. Hashtagging #ReopenNC, Adams wrote: “Police officers in Raleigh declared protest a non essential activity. We no longer have a first amendment right of peaceable assembly. This is why we have a second amendment.”
Let’s unpack this—or just take the one-layer-deep fold of this statement apart. Adams was remarking on the protest going on right now in Raleigh, North Carolina, where residents are demanding that Gov. Roy Cooper, who on Monday applied stricter guidelines enforcing social distancing in stores, “reopen” North Carolina.
