Attorney General Pam Bondi on Tuesday backpedaled her comments about using law enforcement to target groups engaged in “hate speech” after she faced broad criticism.
Bondi made the offending comments during an earlier appearance on the podcast of Katie Miller, the wife of key White House aide Stephen Miller. Miller asked Bondi if law enforcement would be sent after groups engaged in hate speech following the recent killing of conservative political organizer Charlie Kirk.
“We will absolutely target you, go after you if you are targeting anyone with hate speech — and that’s across the aisle,” Bondi responded. She also said there is no place for hate speech following Kirk’s death.
Bondi’s remarks quickly spread online along with the backlash.
“There is no hate speech exception to the First Amendment,” the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression wrote in a post on X. They added, “The attorney general would be wise to read the words of the Supreme Court, which has repeatedly held that the ‘proudest boast’ of America’s free speech tradition is freedom for the thought that we hate.'”
