Murderer and Sexual Harasser Andrew Cuomo Signs Bill Ending Free Speech in New York State

This is not America, and I won't pretend it is.

Andrew Cuomo signed a bill into law aimed at banning the sale of "hate symbols" such as the Confederate flag or the swastika on state property -- even while admitting the new edict might clash with the First Amendment and be struck down as unconstitutional.

The new law -- effective immediately -- prohibits the sale of hate symbols on public grounds including state and local fairs, and also severely limits their display unless deemed relevant to serving an educational or historical purpose.

But Cuomo said the rule likely needs "certain technical changes" so the Empire State doesn't get caught treading upon free speech protections codified in the Constitution's First Amendment.

Hammer and sickle paraphenalia, Che t-shirts, and BLM and antifa merch will be permitted, of course.

At least until they're made mandatory.

But hey -- the Bad Orange Man is a real threat to Our Democratic Norms, huh?

BTW, here's the Senate hearing on election irregularities.

Update: Dang, Lawyer to the Stars Ron Coleman is based.
