This is how the Left endeavors to silence and crush all dissent: first characterize tough questioning of one of its own, or any statement Leftists don’t like, as “hate.” Then, watch for moves to criminalize “hate speech.” This was first done on those who were smeared as “Islamophobes,” who were silenced and marginalized by the false “hate” label.

MSNBC guest: ‘Looked like I saw Ted Cruz commit a hate crime’ against Judge Jackson

by Kristine Parks, Fox News, March 22, 2022:

One MSNBC commentator was so appalled by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, questioning Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson about her support for critical race theory, he claimed it was like watching the senator commit a “hate crime” against the Supreme Court nominee.

Jackson faced several questions Tuesday from Cruz about her knowledge and support of critical race theory. Jackson has previously praised New York Times’ reporter Nikole Hannah-Jones’ “1619 Project” and serves on the board of trustees of an elite, private school in Washington D.C., which promotes CRT books such as Ibram X. Kendi’s “How to be an Anti-Racist.”

During a break in the hearing Tuesday evening on “The Beat,” political strategist and MSNBC commentator Chai Komanduri asserted that Judge Jackson was only being asked about CRT because she is a Black woman. He told MSNBC host Ari Melber, the CRT questions were about “casting her as a radical. As a Black radical who is out to get White people.”

Komanduri went on to say watching Cruz question Jackson felt like witnessing a “hate crime.”

“[I]t’s really ugly. Quite frankly, it looked like I saw Ted Cruz commit a hate crime, in that hearing room. It was McCarthyism at its worst,” he said.

He also accused the GOP of stirring up racial grievances against the Black nominee.

“He wants to gin up White grievance, him and Marsha Blackburn, the GOP want to gin up White grievance, ahead of the midterm and link Judge Jackson to that cause. It’s really frankly was disgusting and ugly to watch,” Komanduri added….
