Florida's AG Backs Down on 'Hate Speech' Threat Amid Criticism from Civil Rights Groups

Attorney General Pamela Bondi faced criticism for her comments on Monday stating that this administration will target individuals with 'hate speech'. However, she later walked back her statements due to concerns about being misinterpreted. Her initial warning was deemed problematic as it could be seen as a veiled threat against free speech advocates. The move was widely criticized by some who argued it undermined the principles of freedom of expression.
