It looks to me like DeSantis is just pandering for votes. All politicians do it, and it’s always disgusting. For example, even Trump favors the awful use of ethanol in gasoline.
Why? Gotta get those corn farmer votes. To hell with the consequences down the road.
This anti-1st Amendment bill would punish those who make leaflets legitimately criticizing Jewish influence in our government and culture up to 5 years in prison.
It's time for the United States to decouple itself from Israel, as well as other nations such as China that have sway in our government.
Our government should only serve and exist for stock, Legacy Americans.
The issue is that the legislation is unconstitutional. Just because it could theoretically be applied to other religions is irrelevant.
As the grandson of a Nazi who has met people affected by his actions, it registers with me.
I was very critical of Trump and his ethanol support going back to 2016.
Is it now illegal to speak against Christians? Or just Jews and Islam?
The difference being Trump didn’t propose unconstitutional legislation to get those votes. DeSantis has no such qualms.
So? What does that mean?
Has to make an impression.
No, he doesn't. He needs to focus on the concerns of Legacy Americans who continue to get screwed over by this rogue government, and not kiss the ring of the corrupt and anti-white Jonathan Greenblatt and the ADL (originally founded to exonerate a child rapist/pedophile that was posthumously pardoned) who are salivating over the idea of throwing innocent people who criticize them in prison.
(Rubbing of hairy hands intensifies)
That's nice. Where's your concern over the children of Holodomor victims or the 50 million white Europeans slaughtered in WWII.
Leftist Jews use the Holocaust to hide behind just like blacks use slavery. I'm sick and tired of it, and I'm not playing that game anymore.
All crimes are hate crimes. There should be no special protections for some crime victims.
People say hateful things all the time about Christians and nobody bats an eye because they say it’s “free speech”.
And that is the problem with this law. It is going to be enforced selectively.
Yet, Trump supporters are blaming DeSantis for doing it?
May you find peace.
Does context mean anything to you? When Trump is referring to hate crimes here he’s talking about people like that guy in Buffalo who shot up all those black people at the supermarket. DeSantis’s legislation is against speech alone.
“Is it now illegal to speak against Christians?”
**************************************************
2019’s HB 741 bans any speech in the public school systems of Florida deemed to be “making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations” about Jews or “the power of Jews as a collective,” such as “the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions.”
HB 741 also bans “applying a double standard to Israel by requiring behavior of Israel that is not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation, or focusing peace or human rights investigations only on Israel.”
The bill also adds religion as a protected class to the state’s anti-discrimination laws, but its language pertaining specifically to criticism of Israel are unlike any speech code in law throughout the United States today.
No mention of Christianity in that bill. This could only be by design. They intentionally omitted it.
Of course they did.
He’s here, he’s there, he’s every f*******-where!
What is unconstitutional about this bill?
