“I think he’s sick,” Matze told Fox News. “That is not what the Constitution says. This is not what the Constitution stands for, banning more than 10 million US voters from the Internet, preventing people from free speech. When people do things like that, it shows that they do not understand the meaning of the Constitution or of this country and what it represents. “
