Terrorism and tweets, hate speech and murder

Hosted by Warren Olney • Jun. 05, 2017 National

And again today, President Trump has tweeted criticism of the Mayor of London. Later, a double murder in Portland, Oregon has revealed the ugly past of a supposedly “progressive” city. One immediate question: is “hate speech” protected by the First Amendment?
