Is 'Let's go Brandon!' a form of hate speech?
The Hill ^ | 11/02/2021 | JOE CONCHA

Posted on 11/02/2021 6:44:35 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

"Let's go Brandon!" got its start exactly one month ago at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama, courtesy of an NBC Sports reporter who was interviewing driver Brandon Brown after he won his first Xfinity Series race. A crowd behind Brown was chanting "F*** Joe Biden." The reporter claimed the crowd was actually chanting "Let's go Brandon." And, thanks to social media, it went viral in a hurry.

The answer is that yes it is. However saying a person is “just like Hitler@ and his immigration policies just like loafing Jews into boxcars. Those are ok

The fact that they're so super butthurt and whiny about it means that it's working.

LET'S GO BRANDON!

Uttering the phrase Black Lives Matter is hate speech and promoting the racist NAACP surrogate intent on destroying the cities of America

Political commentary

Come on Man, doesn’t everyone remember how Hollywood and the Media and the Politicians were so exercised over the Vulgar Comments made about Trump for 4 years?? Remember how upset they were that High Profile people were saying F%CK TRUMP on the National Stage.

Hate speech is protected by the 1st Amendment... so who cares if it is or isn’t.

Hate speech? I don’t understand. The left was always so kind to President Trump and the First Lady with never a harsh word uttered.

The target of “Let’s go, Brandon” is the MEDIA.

The question is NOT:

Is "Let's go Brandon!" a form of hate speech?

The ONLY question is:

Is "Let's go Brandon" Free Speech?

Any non-leftist opinion is hate speech anymore.

The article was great (and on The Hill??? WTF?) but the comments are perfect-tasting liberal tears.

It’s as if they’ve never heard of the 1st amendment—Freedom of Speech. They want to say people who “Spread misinformation” about Biden and the democrats are just as bad as Josef Goebbels and there should be Nuremberg-style trials against conservative haters!

Even thought the article has several on-the-page videos of Leftists speaking hate towards Trump, such as De Nero live, or Madonna at the Pussy hat rally, or Kathy Griffin with Trumps decapitated bloody head.

These people are actually typing their idiocy even as we speak!
