Democrats in Congress are trying to pass a bill that would expand the definition of hate crime to include discussion of replacement theory.
Yes, really.
The legislation, which is sponsored by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), would criminalize speech that is found to have inspired a racially motivated crime.
The draconian law would effectively make an individual responsible for someone elses crime if prosecutors were able to successfully argue that their political rhetoric was a motivating factor.
The Leading Against White Supremacy Act of 2023 includes a conspiracy charge that someone would be guilty of if they were found to have published 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 on social media.
