Former head of Yale Democrats and clerk for RBG. Shameful
This woman worded her answer poorly.
The correct answer is:
The First Amendment’s protection of free speech is extremely powerful. A casual call for genocide of anyone is not some sort of punishable crime — because of the overriding protection of freedom of speech. This is the context of the circumstance. Freedom of speech transcends calls for genocide because there is no immediate translation of such a thing into danger or violence. It’s not yelling fire in a crowded theater. It’s words on a computer screen.
She could have worded things better. She’s losing her career over this and that is an injustice.
