Attorney General Pam Bondi has made quite the First Amendment-related faux pas: In a recent interview about what the federal government could do to deter political violence in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, she said the government would “go after” anyone engaged in hate speech.
Hate speech, on its own, is simply not a separate category of unprotected speech, from the standpoint of the Supreme Court. In a separate interview, Bondi also suggested that employers had an obligation to fire employees for engaging in hate speech or for actions such as refusing to print pro-Kirk posters at Office Depot. Let’s watch.
The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh called her opinion “insane” and said that President Trump should fire her. Sen. Ted Cruz (R–Texas) similarly clarified that the First Amendment absolutely protects hate speech, while noting that individuals could still suffer professional consequences for saying cruel things about Kirk. <--- That moment when Ted Cruz says something accurate.
This is not only wrong, but also unconstitutional.
Bondi is a blithering moron from one of the dumbest states in the union. She needs to be fired, disbarred and deported to Flor-I-Duh and told she is not allowed out of that state for any reason.
