Cuomo says that it is morally justified to physically assault anyone espousing HATE. The only problem with his argument is that his definition of HATE is very narrowly defined as anybody that disagrees with him, or anybody he disagrees with.
To get to the bottom of the Leftist definition of HATE simply ask them this, "Is it morally justified to physically assault Muslims when they march down the street yelling Death to America!"? There is no sane person alive who could possibly argue that is not HATE. Of course it is. And yet Muslims are somehow untouchable.
But, any American wearing a MAGA hat is fair game for assault. Because just the act of wearing a certain hat is deemed by the Left to be HATE. The Left prefers to ignore real, literal, actual, undeniable hate. But has no problem defining political opponents as espousing hate just for the fact that they disagree with the Left.
