I don’t believe that calling for genocide is protected speech...but perhaps that’s just me.
For such a smart guy, he says a lot of pretty stupid stuff.
If the Founders wanted a 1st Amendment qualification for genocide-related speech, they’d put it in there.
And yet, it’s not.
People were calling for annihilating Jewish people, blacks, Catholics, etc for a long time. It’s caustic stuff….but banning caustic stuff is how the left rolls, not Americans.
In times of war, all kinds of Nasty Speech becomes normal. Mattis said of Iraqis: “I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you f**k with me, I’ll kill you all.” Sounds like speech needing some canceling. /sarc
There are lots of people who also don’t believe that a .357, AR15, or anything beyond a musket is protected under the 2nd Amendment.
I get the sentiment. It’s simply wrong.
This is what Massie is afraid of?
