Hawley explains lone 'no' vote on bipartisan Asian hate crimes bill
Fox News
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., said he couldn't join with the rest of the Senate in approving an Asian hate crimes bill on Thursday because the legislation was too broad and could infringe on free speech.
In a tweet following his "no" vote, Hawley said the legislation raises "free speech questions." "[I]t turns the federal government into the speech police - gives government sweeping authority to decide what counts as offensive speech and then monitor it," Hawley tweeted. "Raises big free speech questions."More Related News
