The House Freedom Caucus began the Trump administration by saving Obamacare and now threatens to end the administration by harming national defense while trampling internet freedom. Few U.S. political groups have ever been so misnamed, and rarely have so-called conservatives so badly retarded conservative aims.

Freedom Caucus members say they plan to vote to uphold President Trump’s threatened veto of the annual National Defense Authorization Act, which is one of the few bills each year that is seen as bipartisan, “must-pass” legislation. Trump has said he will veto the NDAA if it does not contain a provision to repeal Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, a part of that act that provides certain liability protections for internet platforms.
