Sen. Hirono: ‘How Many of Us Even Think That ‘Defunding Police Departments’ Should Be Taken Literally?’

EXCERPT:

HIRONO: "And now there are all these attacks about Black Lives Matter and what they’re saying. I mean, how many of us even think that defunding police departments is — it should be taken literally? I mean, I certainly don’t. So, we have this pesky thing called freedom of speech, and I’d say that the people who support Black Lives Matter, and if they’re calling for various boycotts and all that, that’s called freedom of speech. And that’s what this hearing title is, Protecting Speech.”
