CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour called "lock her up" chants by Donald Trump supporters "hate speech" in a new interview and asked James Comey if he wished he had "shut down that language" in his capacity as FBI Director at the time.
Amanpour recounted the frequent chants at Trump 2016 campaign rallies about imprisoning Hillary Clinton for her perceived crimes and wondered if they should have been legal, but Comey responded it was not the role of government officials to censor that speech.
"Do you, in retrospect, wish that people like yourself, the head of the FBI, the people in charge of law and order, had shut down that language, that it was dangerous potentially, that it could have created violence, that it's kind of hate speech? Should that have been allowed?"

You got to be kidding. The FBI is not suppose to violate peoples free speech rights and their rights to protest and assembly? What universe were these morons raised in?
What was Comey’s reply?
Why do immigrants from goat pastures think they have anything worth saying?
I guess the bar for *hate speech* is now lowered to anything someone doesn’t like.
And what about the actual violence from the left ?
“She and CNN have no allegiance to the US Constitution,”
She’s Iranian We should have no expectation of her respecting our Constitution.
” She’s Iranian We should have no expectation of her respecting our Constitution. “
Well, that is so very true.
How is it that SO MANY foreigners with NO allegiance to the US Constitution have so much influence here ?
