If you adhere to Donald Trump - and not to the traditional Reaganesque principles of conservatism - you eventually become a Democrat.
The latest example is your Attorney General Pam Bondi, who today indicated the Trump Administration’s willingness to completely surrender on free speech.
On a podcast hosted by Katie Miller (former Communications Director for Vice President Mike Pence and Stephen Miller’s wife), Bondi had this to say about the tasteless comments that have come from the left in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder:
“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...We will absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech."
You know who would disagree with her? Charlie Kirk. But when there’s no principle, only a burning desire for revenge, you’ll end up selling your enemies the rope they’ll hang you with.

I often disagree with you, but you are spot on with on this one.

Like that amnesty for illegal immigrants? How'd that work out?

Just throwing out an alternate explanation, Bondi is not very smart. She should not be allowed near a microphone.

You are indeed spot on….looks like she is also the AG of the European Union…never let it be said that the Trump Administration doesn’t like to imitate the Progressive Left…they do it every day. Problem is they are terrible at it and all they are doing is making sure when the progressives regain power they can finish off the revolution started by Woodrow Wilson. All this chatter about a change etc is a false flag….no pearl clutching or crying on here when the Democrats regain power and really show how it’s done. We can all thank the fools in the second Trump Administration. It’s a shame to…Donald Trump put together a coalition(I’ll give him credit for at least trying to make the Republican Party viable) that could have won elections for decades if he had only governed…but nope…he is a child and wants revenge and self gratification…he could have ended it with this coalition…but chose a bunch of fools for his staff and all they can do is step on rake after rake.
Many will disagree with me and I hope I’m wrong but I don’t think so…I hate to disagree with VDH but this is not a counter revolution…it’s just a stepping stone for the progressive revolution to finish the job.

This all stems from her recent discussions with Trump about using the RICO statutes against the left. She knows exactly what she’s saying.
She doubled down tonight on Fox News from the front lawn of the White House.
”Employers,” said Bondi, “you have an obligation to get rid of people who are saying horrible things.”
And this is your president just three weeks ago:
100% anti-First Amendment and 100% anti-free speech. And 100% orchestrated by Stephen Miller and approved by Trump.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
