Erickson tore into "moron" Attorney General Pam Bondi after she claimed "hate speech" did not count as "free speech" and would be targeted by her office.

Conservative talkshow host Erick Erickson tore into “moron” Attorney General Pam Bondi on Monday after she claimed “hate speech” did not count as “free speech” and would be targeted by her office.

“Someone needs to explain to Ms. Bondi that so-called ‘hate speech,’ repulsive though it may be, is protected by the First Amendment. She should know this,” weighed in Fox News chief political analyst Brit Hume

    Her current talking point was that hate speech is not free speech, and the government will come after you.

    She later clarified that isn’t what she meant, but her initial implication was that big brother will get you for voicing your opinion.

    Originally she said:

    “There’s free speech and then there’s hate speech. And there is no place — especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie — in our society,” Bondi told Katie Miller, the former DOGE aide, on her podcast that was released Monday. “We will absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech.”
