Black Lives Matter founder: White nationalist speech isn’t protected under the First Amendment

Actually, white nationalist speech is protected under the First Amendment, as is all “hate speech,” because there’s no such thing as “hate speech” in U.S. constitutional jurisprudence. How many primers on free-speech law need to be posted on the Internet before people absorb this very basic fact? I’m less annoyed at Patrisse Cullors, who’s obviously pushing this lie as part of a political agenda, than I am at Katy Tur, who views her profession through a heroic lens and is ostensibly there to fact-check. If someone’s spouting misinformation about the First Amendment (of all things) right in front of you, the journamalistical thing to do might be to kindly correct the record for the benefit of your audience. Does Tur not know basic 1A law despite the fact that her job depends on it? Or is she giving Cullors a pass because she supports her agenda?
