Lauren Jauregui talks about 1st Amendment, free speech, hate
Lauren Jauregui talks the First Amendment, free speech and hate
Quote:
Lauren Jauregui hasn't made too much noise since audio leaked of the Fifth Harmony member allegedly complaining about how management mistreated the group, forcing them to work like "slaves." But that changed earlier this week, when the singer took to Twitter to issue a statement about the First Amendment, though the prompt for the missive is still unclear.
"Free speech was written in as a right as a means of a protecting the people's voice against unjust government's, not as an excuse for hatred," Lauren wrote on Twitter, ostensibly about the First Amendment having been implemented to protect people, ensuring that the United States of America is a symphony of differing perspectives, not just one. While we're not sure what prompted her series of messages, she added fuel to speculation that her tweet was in response to the current political climate, as she also wrote: "America's so beautiful in theory."
This isn't the first time Lauren has gotten political — back in November, after Donald Trump beat out Hillary Clinton in the election, she penned a thoughtful open letter to the former reality TV star's followers titled "I Am a Bisexual Cuban-American Woman & I Am So Proud of It."
"You voted for a person who built an 18-month campaign off the back of your hatred,"[/B] she wrote, adding that [B]"He manipulated ALL of you with such ease by speaking to the darker parts of you that had started to feel ashamed about the way you viewed the 'politically correct' world. He became your champion, because he spoke to the parts of you that think you are superior to the rest of us (just like Hitler did in Germany before the Holocaust! Just read his autobiography: Mein Kampf)....We are not America indivisible any longer, we are united on two separate sides; Love and Hatred. We are not 'whining' about our presidential choice losing, we are screaming battle cries against those whose political and personal agendas threaten our lives and sanity. We are making sure you hear us, no matter how much it bothers you, we EXIST."
