Governor Abbott says Gab is an anti-Semitic platform, HUH?
Governor Greg Abbott said today that Gab is an anti-Semitic platform and has no place in Texas. Huh? Since when? Honestly, I have never seen any anti-Semitic anything although there could be some anti-Semitic people on the site since it’s a free speech platform. But that doesn’t mean the platform is anti-Semitic. Free speech does mean protecting speech that we even find repugnant.
He called the entire platform anti-Semitic and a lot of conservatives are on it. That’s very insulting and misguided. Even the Texas GOP is on it.

Abbott joined Sen. Bryan Hughes in Tyler, Texas to discuss Senate Bill 12.
“Conservative speech will not be cancelled in the state of Texas,” Abbott said. “(This bill) would allow any Texan who has been cancelled, censored or de-platformed to file a lawsuit against Twitter, Facebook or any of these other companies.”
But Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott waded into controversy by branding Gab, a minimum-moderation alternative to Twitter, an anti-Semitic platform. The problem is, the Texas GOP joined Gab in late January.
