HRC Pres. Kelley Robinson: ‘We Have to Interrupt the Cycle’ Between ‘Hateful Speech’ and ‘Violence’

EXCERPT:

ROBINSON: “Our report showed that 24 different hospitals and providers across 22 states were directly attacked online, following harassing, inflammatory, and misleading posts. I think the thing to really note here is that there's a direct connection. Hateful speech, extremist rhetoric is connected to real life violence. We're seeing it play out time and time again, and we have to interrupt the cycle.”
