Matt Gagnon discusses Attorney General Pam Bondi’s stance on free speech and hate speech, particularly in the context of the Charlie Kirk murder. Bondi plans to target hate speech with federal action. Gagnon argues that Kirk, who opposed the concept of hate speech, would disagree. He cites Kirk’s May 2024 statement that only speech directly inciting violence is illegal, referencing Supreme Court precedents. Gagnon emphasizes that the standard for limiting free speech is high and that the notion of not yelling “fire” in a crowded theater is outdated. He criticizes using tragedies to justify restrictive speech laws.
