Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee just introduced a bill that would attach criminal charges to certain forms of hate speech. The bill is aimed at fighting “white supremacy,” which, in other words, would mean the criminalization of any opinion that did not concur with the “woke left.”
Jackson Lee’s “Leading Against White Supremacy Act of 2023” is aimed at “preventing and prosecuting white supremacy inspired hate crime and conspiracy to commit white supremacy inspired hate crime.”
The New York Post reports that the addition of the word “conspiracy” means people who use hate speech online could face criminal charges under the legislation even if they don’t act on their threats.
The bill states that it is a “conspiracy to engage in White supremacy inspired hate crime shall be determined to exist between two or more persons, at least one of whom published material advancing White supremacy, White supremacist ideology, antagonism based on ‘replacement theory’ or hate speech that vilifies or is otherwise directed against any nonwhite person or group.”
But who gets to decide what “white supremacist ideology” is?
According to the National Museum of African American History & Culture, traits like hard work, individualism, and a solid work ethic are considered “racist traits.” They actually created a graphic to explain it!
The National Museum of African American History & Culture wants to make you aware of certain signs of whiteness: Individualism, hard work, objectivity, the nuclear family, progress, respect for authority, delayed gratification, more.

So would Jackson Lees’s bill consider it “white supremacist ideology” if an employer published something about expecting his employees to be on time?
Tucker Carlson Blasts Sheila Jackson Lee
Last night, Tucker Carlson blasted the Texas Democrat, whom he referred to as the “single most obnoxious member of Congress,” saying that the bill was designed “silence the critics of the Democratic Party” by criminalizing “previously constitutionally guaranteed speech” and labeling law-abiding citizens “terrorists” based on “their race.”

“It’s not an exaggeration to say this single bill would do more to criminalize speech, previously constitutionally guaranteed speech, than any other piece of legislation that has been proposed in the entire history of this country,” Carlson said.
“What she’s doing here every day,” Carlson continued,” is leveling a racial attack, a blood libel, against an entire group of Americans while simultaneously pretending to be the victim of attacks from that same group. Stop hitting me, she howls as she punches you in the face.”
Carlson’s arguments make sense. By using words like “terrorism” and “conspiracy,” this bill seeks to shut down our most sacred of freedoms– our first amendment right to free speech.
The game of shutting down opposition, dissent, or any opposing viewpoint by crying “racism” is going too far.
And Sheila Jackson Lee is leading the charge.
