Trump's Speech Police

The bad-faith stampede to turn Charlie Kirk’s murder into a speech-policing crusade and a permission slip for the government to crush political opposition is well underway.

Because that’s what this is: Not grief, not justice; it’s just an opportunistic power grab wrapped in piety and political theater.

Start with Attorney General Pam Bondi, who decided the week of a national trauma was the perfect time to audition for Censor-in-Chief. “Hate speech,” she bleated, is something her Justice Department would “target.”

There’s just one tiny problem: In America, there is no “hate speech” exception to the First Amendment. That’s not me talking — as you know, I’m no lawyer, but I’ve been on the First Amendment front lines — it’s ConLaw 101, which Bondi appears to have slept her way through.

MSNBC’s Katy Tur Asks If Trump Will Use Charlie Kirk Shooting ‘As a Justification For Something’ Bad

“I mentioned the aftereffects because, as we were just talking about a moment ago with Alan, after one of the DOGE employees was allegedly attacked in Washington, D.C., that’s what Donald Trump used as justification to send in federal troops into Washington, D.C., to get things under control—the carjacking situation. He used that,” Tur replied, adding:

And I know it’s hard to predict the future, Mark, but you can imagine the administration using this as a justification for something.
