...the clownish U.S. Representative-for-life for Texas's 18th congressional district, serving since 1995. The district includes most of inner-city Houston. She is noted for her lack of tact and intellect. She is a member of the Democratic Party, and almost its epitome...
has introduced a bill aimed at fighting "white supremacy
...the pernicious doctrine that laws were intended to be obeyed, that society works better when people don't pour shreiking from their places of worship every Friday for a weekend of rioting over insults real or imagined; and that cannibalism, beastiality, incest, murder, theft, rape, and similar activities are bad. A Dead White European (which invalidates his opinion) philosopher once opined that societies thrive when a person's word can be relied upon, and that a society which puts individual happinessfirst will invariably fail.

The Texas Democrat introduced the Leading Against White Supremacy Act of 2023, which aims "to prevent and prosecute white supremacy inspired hate crime and conspiracy to commit white supremacy inspired hate crime."
The conspiracy addition means people who use hate speech online could face criminal charges under the legislation even if they don’t act on their threats.
That includes a person who publishes "material advancing white supremacy, white supremacist ideology, antagonism based on ’replacement theory,’ or hate speech that vilifies or is otherwise directed against any non-white person or group."
The text of the bill specifically lists social media platforms as one area where hate speech could result in criminal consequences — if that hate speech motivates another person to go out and commit a racist crime against others.
"Mass shootings and other hate crimes motivated by white supremacy have been increasing in frequency and intensity," the bill states. "These heinous and virulent crimes are inspired by conspiracy theories, blatant bigotry and mythical falsehoods such as ’replacement theory.’ All instances must be prevented and severe criminal penalties must be applied to their perpetrators."
