Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee Introduces Bill Criminalizing Some Forms of 'Hate Speech'

Texas Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee introduced a bill to combat "White supremacy" by criminalizing certain forms of hate speech.

After the ill-fated attempt by the Biden administration to monitor Americans' speech online, Jackson Lee introduced the Leading Against White Supremacy Act of 2023 to assign criminal punishment for certain forms of hate speech.

The bill's language is broad and could result in people facing criminal charges for sharing hateful content, including on social media.

IF this country were 1/10th as racist as she claims...she wouldn't be here today. Her ancestors would have been wiped out after slavery was over.

And in WWII the US would have aligned with Germany and established a true white dominated run world.

Her stupidity is beyond measure.

THERE IS NOTHING IN THE CONSTITUTION THAT ALLOWS THE GOVERNMENT TO ABRIDGE FREEDOM OF SPEECH BECAUSE IT IS DEEDMED HATEFUL.

FORBDDING HATE SPEECH IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!!!

So, a conservative congressman’s aid who gets assaulted by a member of a crowd forming around them, telling them they’re not welcome anymore, that’s just an assault. But if it’s reversed, and during a traffic dispute someone white assaults someone black and uses the “N” word, it’s a deluxe-super-duper-bad hate assault?

Only Sheila Stonewall-Jackson Robert-E.-Lee could come up with something this blatantly unconstitutional.

I wish one good congressman would introduce a bill that criminalized the act of introducing legislation that violates the Constitution.

Wouldn’t a Speaker of the House with actual integrity and character bring this rodeo clown up on ethics charges and remove her from all committee assignments as well as suspending all floor privilege for this Blatant Frontal Assault on the First Amendment and the US Constitution, in direct violation of the SWORN Oath it took??

This has no chance of making it out of the house.

Still. it is scary to see how fast the dims want to slide us into a totalitarian state.

“This has no chance of making it out of the house.”

It’s not meant to be advanced. If it were she would have presented it when the dems controlled congress. This just gives the dems ammo to attack the republicans that vote against her anti white supremacy bill.

If this were such a serious issue, she would have introduced the bill while her comrades were still in control of the House.
