    It’s politician speak for ‘hey it’s okay to run over people who are anti-ice/trump’.

    Technically, yeah there’s a case for self defense if your life is in danger. No one’s really denying that. If you flip the script though, and let’s say it was a group of proud boys protesting something, I’d bet you real world money he’d suddenly be against running over protesters. That is the issue here.

      I realize that his reasons are hateful but that’s not the part I agree with.

        You already had the right to do what he’s saying, in a specific situation, all he is doing is planting the seed for people to drive I to protests as protected aggravators. This is not establishing rights, this is a call to action, don’t be fooled.
