It would make the left’s collective head explode. But it also makes sense for Trump to go for this. He’s the racist president. So isn’t this exactly what a “racist” would do?
If you’re being called one no matter what you do, you might as well take advantage and play the part.
As Blazing Cat Fur points out:
-The stabbing of Yankel Rosenbaum by assailants yelling “Get the Jew!”: NOT a federal hate crime.
-The brutal kidnapping and murder of a young white couple in Knoxville, Tennessee, by black youths: NOT a federal hate crime.
-The torture of a mentally disabled kid in Chicago, by assailants saying “F—- white people!” and “F—- Trump!”: NOT a federal hate crime.
-A white man killing a white woman by driving into a crowd of left-wing protesters: THAT’S a federal hate crime.
There is a war going on
Government employment must also be removed as a special protected class. A crime against a cop or politician is no worse than a crime against a productive citizen.
To add to Chris Mallory, I take a parallel approach. Crimes BY government employees should be punished more harshly since they are abusing their position.
EVERY crime is a HATE crime. You hate another person enough to steal, rape, or murder them. We need to get rid of that ridiculous lop-sided law.
I ‘HATE’ Hate Crime Laws … “Oh Crap! Have I committed a crime”? What If I just HATE crime, Is that a crime?
I guess he’s referring to this? :

I don’t know legal terminology well. Is this pursuant to a law passed by Congress or an “Obama Pen&Phone Executive Order”?
Twenty years ago Matthew Shepherd sacrificed his life to bring us the much-needed hate crime law. You will not let this beautiful man’s sacrifice go in vain. The hate crime law stays.
LOL @ Larry.
But seriously, the Shepherd case was a drug deal gone bad. Not booty related.
@MJ, you know, President Raygun already pointed that out.
