ICYMI: Rep. Roy and Sen. Lee renew call to repeal the FACE Act

WASHINGTON, DC — On Wednesday, Representative Chip Roy (TX-21) and Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) penned an op-ed calling to repeal the FACE Act.

Some key quotes are below:

• “President Joe Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland have weaponized the Department of Justice, including the FBI, against anyone and everyone with whom they disagree.”
• “…for the Biden administration, the First Amendment is a selective privilege, not an inalienable right.”
• “The FACE Act has been used approximately 130 times against pro-lifers – but has only been leveled in defense of churches and pregnancy centers five times, even though churches and pro-life centers are 22 times more likely to be attacked than abortion clinics.”
• “While we have failed to defund Biden’s weaponization of the Justice Department in recent spending bills, our fellow Americans are still suffering persecution for their beliefs.”
• “We should not fund a Department of Justice that so brazenly tilts the scales of justice against the regime’s political opponents.”
• “It's clear that fully repealing the FACE Act is the only way for Congress to finally end its abuse.”
