San Antonio City Council: Hate Speech Is More Dangerous Than The Virus Itself

SAN ANTONIO (KTSA News) – San Antonio City Council has approved a resolution ‘combating hate speech’ in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mayor Ron Nirenberg proposed the resolution, citing hate crimes, discrimination and aggression against Asians and members of the Jewish community across the country.

It states that COVID-19 is a public health issue, not a racial, religious or ethnic one, and that the use of terms such as “Chinese virus” or “Kung Fu virus” encourages hate crimes against Asians. The resolution also says the Jewish community has been targeted with blame and conspiracy theories about spreading COVID_19 and profiting from the virus.

Resolution being voted on by San Antonio City Council this morning labels terms "Chinese Virus" and "Kung Fu Virus" as hate speech and "all persons are encouraged to report any such antisemitic, discriminatory or racist incidents to the proper authorities for investigation". pic.twitter.com/jV6tKnQrRD

This is NUTS. SA City Council behaving like a lefty college faculty lounge, triggered by Chick-fil-A & the words “Wuhan virus.” If they want to investigate someone, start with NYT & CNN who both repeatedly (and rightly) referred to it as “the Chinese coronavirus.” #NoSpeechPolice https://t.co/a10BZAvleQ

From some local news outlet:
I think late 2019

“...San Antonio’s City Council voted March 21 to remove Chick-fil-A from the San Antonio International Airport after the popular fast food restaurant came under fire for donating $1.8 million to groups that discriminate against the LGBTQ community...”

San Antonio has Chik-Fil-As, but the City Council would not let them open one up at the airport because they did not meet the council’s “values”.

SA has chik-fil-a

This is regarding the airport. I should think it is where the crazy council has jurisdiction over types of vendors

We do, just not in the airport. They’re taxing us to death, too.

Follow the money. Some organizations or individuals in San Antonio are quite possibly on the take. It’s how China “does business.”

And we have Dr. Fauchi to thank for this with his last fraudulent pandemic known as HIV/AIDS used as cover to mainstream Homosexuality.

For his second act, Fauchi plans to establish Global Neo-Feudalism ...
