I agree that it does, but Hawley isn't arguing we should ban communism, he's arguing that we shouldn't let a hostile foreign government have access to our citizen's data via TikTok. I'm not saying I agree or disagree with the ban, I just don't think the characterization from Paul that Hawley doesn't recognize that the first amendment protects communism is fair; Hawley would agree with this, Hawley is objecting to letting a hostile foreign government spy on US citizens.
