POLITICO has a story that is mostly about Bondi but what it says about Trump struck me as most significant. It begins with Bondi:
“Attorney General Pam Bondi on Tuesday appeared to walk back comments promising to target broadly defined “hate speech” following the killing of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk, after facing significant backlash from both conservative and liberal circles over her threat to curb free speech.”
But this is what it says about Trump:
“Asked by reporters about the attorney general’s remarks Tuesday, Trump returned to a suggestion he has previously floated — that members of the media should be targeted for their coverage of his administration — which he claimed was ‘hate.’”
“’We’ll probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly, it’s hate. You have a lot of hate in your heart,’ Trump said, responding to a question from ABC’s Jonathan Karl.”
