Since its founding, the United States has long been considered a champion for basic natural rights throughout the civilized world. Not content with simply guaranteeing these principles at home, America has sought to use its reputation and influence to pressure foreign leaders to ensure such principles for their own peoples.
But in recent years, U.S. leadership’s commitment to upholding God-given rights to free speech and religion has fallen by the wayside. Under President Joe Biden, America was no longer a defender of natural rights, but an assailant of them.
In addition to weaponizing the legal system to target his political opponents (including Christians), the 46th president and his administration undertook what was arguably the largest attack on free speech in modern U.S. history.
