While Bondi is correct in that there is "hate speech" (in general, not specifically regarding Kirk), while I hate that I agree with Carlson on this, he's right that the government silencing hate speech would be a massive problem and constitutional violation. Private entities can always remove hate speech from their own services, but it's not the government's job to define that speech.

Anyway, what's that they say about broken clocks?
