Hate Speech in the U.S.: Protected or Punishable?
Update: 2025-09-17
Description
Michael digs into today’s Smerconish.com poll question, sparked by a fiery legal debate after comments made by Attorney General Pam Pondi on going after people who were spreading 'hate speech'' in the wake of the death of Charlie Kirk: “Agree or Disagree: ‘Hate speech does not exist legally in America. There’s ugly speech… gross speech… evil speech. And ALL of it is protected by the 1st Amendment.’”
Putting this current controversy in context with landmark Supreme Court rulings and his own legal knowledge, Michael unpacks where the law really stands—and why it matters now more than ever.
