Congressman Lloyd Doggettâs video in which he condemned the U.S. Capitol insurrection was not played at Texas Stateâs virtual Inauguration Day ceremony due to a lack of time to receive approval, according to the faculty member who made the decision.
Doggett (D-TX) was originally invited to provide remarks at the universityâs virtual program on Jan. 20, a non-partisan affair, after it was switched from an in-person format due to COVID-19 protocols.
While attending President Joe Bidenâs inauguration, he was notified that his pre-recorded video, which includes quoted remarks from Republicans in Congress also condemning the Capitol attack, would not make the university ceremony â news he later describes, to the Austin American-Statesman, as a disappointment and suppression of his free speech.
