Attorney General decides to join the Left: goes full ‘woke’ in response to Charlie Kirk’s assassination:
She was immediately — and correctly — attacked, not only by defenders of free speech, but by Charlie Kirk, himself — from the grave, his words live on:
“Hate speech does not exist legally in America. There’s ugly speech. There’s gross speech. There’s evil speech. And ALL of it is protected by the First Amendment. Keep America free.“
–Charlie Kirk, 2024

THE TAKE-AWAY
Free speech is an American ideal. It is at the core of our founding. It may be tempting to use the law to punish people with whom we disagree, but this is not the American way, either. AG Bondi is acting like the very thing the Left accused Charlie Kirk of being: a Fascist. An intellectually honest person can watch Charlie’s videos and tell he was no Fascist, but the same person watching AG Bondi using the force of government to silence dissent would be hard pressed to excuse her of the charge.
Principles are important, folks. You must have them and cling to them with all your might. Otherwise, sooner or later, you will become that which you claim to oppose. Those on the Right who are speaking out in opposition to AG Bondi are showing themselves to be principled people. We should listen to them.
