Did this guy campaign on "I'll violate the First Amendment" or something?

What level of taxpayer due dilligence are you envisioning here?

No, he did not literally campaign on those specific words.

Did he align himself with people who have and continue to violate the First Amendment (among many others)?

Yes.

What a ridiculous argument.

Basic responsibility sits with those who commit the act.

Voters are well aware that elections have consequences that have real impacts on their lives.

If you elect someone who crashes your economy, who suffers those consequences? Maybe this isn't so much of a "who should suffer the consequences" but maybe more of a "who does (logically) suffer the consequences".
