Attorney General Pam Bondi wants employers to take responsibility for punishing employees for their free speech rights regarding Charlie Kirk, since she cannot under the First Amendment.
The Trump administration is pressuring all employers to act like pro-Trump Republican thought police and fire employees for exercising their free speech rights.
Bondi joined Sean Hannity on Fox News and threatened away our basic rights under the US Constitution. Weaponizing speech against those who speak ill of Charlie Kirk should be prosecuted, not the other way around.
HANNITY: Where does it become a legal issue from your vantage point as Attorney General?
BONDI: We all believe in the First Amendment, and these people speak horrible, horrible things.
I think I think yesterday or today, Sean, a school board member right here in Virginia, had to resign because she said horrible things about Charlie Kirk and that he deserved to die. That’s horrific. It’s free speech, but you shouldn’t be employed anywhere if you’re gonna say that.
And employers, you have an obligation to get rid of people you need to look at, people who are saying horrible things and they shouldn’t be working with you.
Businesses cannot discriminate, if you want to go in and print posters with Charlie’s pictures on them for a vigil, you have to let them do that. We can prosecute you for that.
