New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) on Wednesday announced plans to create a police unit designed to, in part, combat “hate speech” in the wake of the tragic shooting in Buffalo, promising to “confront this epidemic head-on.”

“We’re proposing a comprehensive plan to combat domestic terrorism, strengthen state gun laws, & investigate social media platforms promoting violent extremism,” Hochul announced Wednesday.

In wake of the racist act of terror in Buffalo, New York will lead the charge to confront this epidemic head-on,” she added:

Use it against them. Report democrat politicians every time they attack the right. Make the entire system collapse under it’s own weight.

Just like they have in the UK, where the police will knock on your door if you post something on Facebook they don’t like.

We’re proposing a comprehensive plan to combat domestic terrorism, strengthen state gun laws, & investigate social media platforms promoting violent extremism AND ONLY IF IT CAN BE CORROBORATED THAT THE PERSON IN QUESTION IS ACTUALLY A ‘MEMBER OF THE RIGHT. ANY LEFTISIT WILL BE GIVEN A PASS,” Hochul announced Wednesday.

She forgot to add that last part.

The real epidemic is soft Americans who get butt hurt whenever something offends them.

"I don't like your politics" could be deemed hate speech, we may be there already.

There are already laws if someone is making threats to someone online or in person. Outside of that or slander we already have police who can handle these situations.

“Hate speech”, especially if its definition is fluid and defined by Democrats, is not illegal.

This applies to some speech and not others. Hate against whites/Christians/males/heterosexuals will be encouraged.

They need to arrest Biden, he is consumed with Trump hate.
He doesn’t think much of anyone who didn’t vote for him either.

I sense there will be lots and lots of lawsuits and settlements in the future.

Gov Hochul failed to stop the shooter when he threatened to conduct the shooting a year ago!

NY has tough Red Flag laws that could have been used, but NY and Gov Hochul dropped the ball.

They fail and then create new laws.

So New York will have a Ministry of Truth that will decide the “truthfulness” of if something is or isn’t hate.

And they’ll decide who gets special treatment.
