What to you suppose he means by that?
What would you have to do to “espouse hate”? And whatever it is, it most certainly is protected by the First Amendment.
Look to your own office Cardin.
I called to ask why Cardin would vote for a judge who was soft on pedophiles for SCOTUS. The little dork who answered the phone said “Oh God” and hung up on me, then blocked my number.
I sent Cardin a letter demanding an apology, which of course was ignored.
Cardin is the hater.
What a clown!!!!!! And an ignorant clown @ that!
The concept of hate speech is used as the means to suppress anything the people in power don’t want to hear.
Of course Democrats, the most demented people on planet earth, define morality as hate and immortality as love.
With that fact front-and-center in all they do, nobody should be surprised by Cardin’s erroneous claim.
That's right, but most people have never actually read it or any of the Constitution for that matter. Instead, they rely on what they've been told—they have Constitutional rights leading them to say things like, "My First Amendment right to free speech..." and "Under the First Amendment, I have the right to free speech..."
No question this has been done deliberately to convince people that their rights come from the Constitution which makes it easy to take them away. To combat this, I came up with a short true-false question to wake people up.
True or False: The First Amendment grants us the right to free speech.Most people quickly answer true, though the smarter ones recognize there might be iocaine powder in that question because of how easy it seems. They will waver a bit, but then reluctantly say true. When I counter, "False!" they all protest to which I say, "LIU. Look it up." Some do and now see it, others do and ask what's the difference. Either way, there's hope for them because they actually read it or at least asked about it. The ones who don't remain in ignorance. Not much you can do there.
Yep, just look at Europe where if you post you like homos on social media they arrest you, if you pray outside abortion clinics that is hateful and you will be arrested, if you dissent against the govt it’s violent speech. This is a supremely bad idea. Free speech is free speech
Really? Says who AH?
The same people will use the same yardstick to determine what a “hate crime” is will determine what hate speech is.
Another living example of why we need to repeal the 17th Amendment.
With the 17th Amendment gone this sort of demagogic appeal wouldn’t happen! State legislatures couldn’t do worse!
The sad thing is that Senator Cardin is probably too stupid to realize how idiotic his position is.
Joe Biden hates me and my family and expresses it almost every day.
Some years ago I had to sit through a speech of his at a graduation ceremony. The man is a complete idiot.
Be careful what you wish for Cardin. When the tables are turned, you’ll be the one speaking hate. So you better start practicing now by shutting the eff up.
Unfortunately, Cardin IS my Senator.
During a hearing on anti-semitism today, Senator Ben Cardin (D-Md.) claimed that those who “espouse hate” are not protected under the First Amendment...”
They are. Deal with it.
Cardin an anti American corrupt piece of human debris.
That is hate dear boi.
So slap some duct tape over your hateful mouth.
When are they going to hold hearings about all the hatred being spouted about white people and all the violence directed at white people? Oh, NEVER, because it is mostly coming from Media-Dem Party constituents.
