From: Disabled Veteran: George Santos Took $3K from Dying Dog's GoFundMe

If Ms. Sheila Jackson-Lee's bill passes, DocCam would be guilty of a felony because he is a white man criticizing a person of color. The fact that what George Santos is an actual scumbag and that DocCam's statement is true wouldn't matter under this bill.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee introduced the Leading Against White Supremacy Act of 2023, which aims "to prevent and prosecute white supremacy inspired hate crime."

US Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee has introduced a bill aimed at fighting “white supremacy” by attaching criminal charges to certain forms of hate speech.

The Texas Democrat introduced the Leading Against White Supremacy Act of 2023, which aims “to prevent and prosecute white supremacy inspired hate crime and conspiracy to commit white supremacy inspired hate crime.”

The conspiracy addition means people who use hate speech online could face criminal charges under the legislation even if they don’t act on their threats.

That includes a person who publishes “material advancing white supremacy, white supremacist ideology, antagonism based on ‘replacement theory,’ or hate speech that vilifies or is otherwise directed against any non-white person or group.”

The text of the bill specifically lists social media platforms as one area where hate speech could result in criminal consequences — if that hate speech motivates another person to go out and commit a racist crime against others.

“Mass shootings and other hate crimes motivated by white supremacy have been increasing in frequency and intensity,” the bill states. “These heinous and virulent crimes are inspired by conspiracy theories, blatant bigotry and mythical falsehoods such as ‘replacement theory.’ All instances must be prevented and severe criminal penalties must be applied to their perpetrators.”

In the most recent hate-fueled mass shooting, a 19-year-old white supremacist gunned down 10 people inside a Buffalo supermarket in a predominantly black neighborhood that he targeted for its demographics.

Before the May massacre, the teen posted a racist manifesto online planning the attack because he cared “for the future of the white race,” prosecutors said.

He pleaded guilty to the murders in November.

It’s unlikely Jackson Lee’s legislation will pass in the Republican-controlled chamber.

That idiotic response is the worst case of "squirrel" I've ever seen.

Hitlejax probably believes there is food containing aborted fetuses because because some Texas Republicans are trying to pass a law forcing the FDA to label food as such, even though no such food exists.

Meanwhile, Santo's lies prove he's nothing short of a flippin sociopath. Which makes sense that he ran as a Republican.

Now if someone you don't even know were to assault or kill George Santos, you as a white man will be guilty of a felony according to Ms. Sheila Jackson Lee's bill. It doesn't even matter whether you know the suspect or not.

Ajax, I’m afraid you’ve allowed yourself to be wound up by the same folks that wind you up on a regular basis. The bill you refer to does not subject anyone to criminal liability for merely criticizing someone else.
