Conservatives renew demands for Bondi's resignation over 'hate speech' remarks

Conservatives once again are calling for Attorney General Pam Bondi's resignation after she responded to Charlie Kirk's assassination with a vow to crack down on "hate speech."

Bondi made the remarks in an appearance on "The Katie Miller Podcast" on Monday.

"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," she said. "We will absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech."

Bondi's use of the term "hate speech", a long-derided phrase that conservatives have warned risks infringement on First Amendment rights, ignited a firestorm on social media.

"We don’t need the DOJ regulating speech, we need to DOJ investigating and arresting the intricate ANTIFA domestic terrorist network that has been targeting, attacking and killing Americans for years. What the hell is this?" asked conservative pundit Savanah Hernandez.

"We don't need DOJ to prosecute 'hate speech,'" insisted Mike Cernovich. "Pam Bondi really isn't ready for this moment. Not to mention the Epstein files nonsense. We need CRIMINAL ACTS by ANTIFA prosecuted. And RICO. Plenty of laws on the books for ACTS, not words. Just needs to happen."

"We don’t need to be precious about this Bondi is an unmitigated disaster Her continued existence in the admin is an insult to Trump voters Disgusting failure, top to bottom," wrong the Blaze's Auron MacIntyre.

"I told you several times, she is a retard," posted Retard Finder.

"This woman sucks. I tried to warn them. She's not fit for the job," wrote Paul.

"Just so we’re clear, this woman has before her the most important tasks in the history of the office she holds. She must put men with deep pockets (and deeper connections) in prison all while breaking up the communist terror cells before they can kill again. We can’t have this," wrote Jesse Kelly.

Bondi previously attracted calls for her resignation over her handling of the Epstein files, which she previously promised to release as part of a botched PR stunt involving the distribution of binders to influencers.
