I super hate what she is saying.
There surely is more context to this snippet, but whatever that is, I do not at all support law enforcement pursuing people who merely speak with hatred.
Hate is not illegal.
If speech rises to an actual threat on someone’s life or encourages killing someone, that is already illegal and that’s enough.
We do not need this level of control to come from government.
If employers want to fire someone for what they said, that’s fine with me.
But mere hate speech alone is not now and never should become illegal.
I do not like people mocking Kirk’s death or saying he deserved it but none of that is illegal.
Society and interpersonal relations, including employment, can deal with people who hated Kirk or anyone else.
We do not need or want Bondi to use government power in this way. ABN
UPDATE: OK, this is fine with me. Pam Bondi in context:
Hate speech that crosses the line into threats of violence is NOT protected by the First Amendment. It’s a crime. For far too long, we’ve watched the radical left normalize threats, call for assassinations, and cheer on political violence. That era is over.
Under 18 U.S.C. § 875(c), it is a federal crime to transmit “any communication containing any threat to kidnap any person or any threat to injure the person of another.” Likewise, 18 U.S.C. § 876 and 18 U.S.C. § 115 make it a felony to threaten public officials, members of Congress, or their families.
You cannot call for someone’s murder. You cannot swat a Member of Congress. You cannot dox a conservative family and think it will be brushed off as “free speech.” These acts are punishable crimes, and every single threat will be met with the full force of the law.
Free speech protects ideas, debate, even dissent but it does NOT and will NEVER protect violence.
It is clear this violent rhetoric is designed to silence others from voicing conservative ideals.
We will never be silenced. Not for our families, not for our freedoms, and never for Charlie. His legacy will not be erased by fear or intimidation.
