We’ve seen this before. California Gov. Gavin Newsom recently established a new hotline, CAvsHate.org, which “provides a safe, anonymous reporting option for victims and witnesses of hate acts,” according to his office’s announcement.
“Here in California, we are sending an unequivocal message that hate will not be tolerated,” said the governor himself.  “We stand firm for a California for All and it is important that we hold perpetrators accountable for their actions and provide resources for those individuals victimized by hate crimes.”
Notice how the announcement and the governor elide between “reporting” hate crimes and actual hate crimes. Who will judge whether such actions are genuine hate crimes?…
