Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Tuesday he would “absolutely” support a hypothetical Justice Department investigation into the use of hate speech and calls to kill cops from Black Lives Matter.
“We don’t yell ‘fire’ in the movie theater. We have First Amendment rights, but you can’t do things that hurt people,” Patrick told CNN host Brooke Baldwin Tuesday afternoon. “We can have unity, but not until the chance of killed cops is removed from our streets, not until the hateful rhetoric is removed, not until we stop killing cops.”
