Bold of you to be assuming that the GOP even knows what the first amendment means. Because with how some reacted when they got banned from twitter and news channels, sure sounds like they don't know what it means.
Public forum.Any public meeting, public place, you're protected from saying nonsense./
You aren't protected from saying nonsense in any place, or via any medium which is privately owned. Such as a house, radio show, TV channel, or website.
Quite literally, the only websites where the first amendment is enforceable are those ending in .gov!
But even if some politician is saying that they are being spoken sweet nothings in their ear by Allah, that's fine. Hopefully they are smart enough to not tell anyone that the have voices telling them what to do, because most people would think the person is insane and unfit for office
