Tucker Carlson said there was no hate speech on Monday. You can watch the videos below.
In a segment accusing Democrats of politicizing the hammer attack on Paul Pelosi, the host asked, "What is hate speech by the way?" Everyone in the media agrees that hate speech is real and actionable. If you commit hate speech, they can find a billion dollars judgement against you.
He said that there was no such thing as hate speech. The people in power dislike hate speech. All speech, except speech that encourages people to take illegal action, is the truth. There are no hate speeches. The United States Constitution allows all of it.
He denied it was a thing, but then defined it. He gave a shout out to Alex Jones after he was hit with a $1 billion judgement. The Sandy Hook massacre was staged by actors, as a result of which the families of the victims were harassed.
It's in the dictionary as well. According to the dictionary, "Speech expressing hatred of a group of people" According to the Cambridge Dictionary, "public speech that expresses hate or encourages violence towards a person or group based on something such as race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation"
Carlson dismissed a story linking the attack on Pelosi's husband to the online targeting of her by Republicans. Democrats were accused by the host of using the incident to their advantage. The Pelosi assault case is being twisted by those on the far right.
Carlson argued that the term was legal.
It is a large amount.
