For real, what is going on in San Antonio? We expect this sort of PC crap from Austin, but San Antonio? Where it’s now “hate speech” to call the coronavirus the Chinese virus — the name every media outlet in America used until someone decided it was racist and everyone fell into line — or the kung fu virus.
Resolution being voted on by San Antonio City Council this morning labels terms "Chinese Virus" and "Kung Fu Virus" as hate speech and "all persons are encouraged to report any such antisemitic, discriminatory or racist incidents to the proper authorities for investigation". pic.twitter.com/jV6tKnQrRD

It’s KUNG FLU…

Not kung fu virus guys. Get it right.
Get this:
Council Member Manny Pelaez speaking on resolution says "hate speech is more dangerous than the virus itself"
— Jaie Avila (@JaieAvila) May 7, 2020
Unreal.
Hate speech. Which isn’t illegal federally, is now illegal in SA? Oh, and it’s also more dangerous than a deadly virus? Go on.

The SA city council will resolve that if you call #coronavirus the "Chinese Virus" or "Kung Fu Virus," it's hate speech and authorities will be sent to you to investigate you. Viruses have always been named for a location. This is a Gestapo or Soviet move. You ok with this? https://t.co/NQt4dAMis9

Sen. Ted Cruz is not OK with this:
This is NUTS. SA City Council behaving like a lefty college faculty lounge, triggered by Chick-fil-A & the words “Wuhan virus.” If they want to investigate someone, start with NYT & CNN who both repeatedly (and rightly) referred to it as “the Chinese coronavirus.” #NoSpeechPolice https://t.co/a10BZAvleQ

Absolutely ridiculous. While people are out of work, mourning lost family members and are still battling/recovering from a virus that originated in China, the Mayor & City Council are playing politics in order to push their liberal agenda. @KenPaxtonTX @GregAbbott_TX

Are they insane or did the @COSAGOV move in from California. That’s a pure Socialist mentality. The virus came from China, they delayed letting the world know and allowed infected people to travel to the US but not within China. It’s the Chinese Virus period. SA voters wake up!

How the hell is calling it that considered "anti-Semitic"?????

So wait.. Are they trying to protect Jews from China? I'm so confused.

This is what happens when you elect Democrats to run your city.

San Antonio is no longer in Texas.

I live in San Antonio and this in no way represents the views of those of us who believe in all of our constitutional rights including "free speech". Doesn't the city council have anything better to do? If not, maybe you are just not essential.

People escaping California, moving to Texas, but bringing the politics that ruined California with them.

It’s like a virus itself.

It is amazing how many elected officials have no clue about our bill of rights.
— Douglas Sammons Sr. (@dms1013) May 7, 2020
In NJ, the Bill of Rights is actually above the governor’s pay grade. He said those very words.
— Scott St.Clair (@ScottStClair1) May 8, 2020
It’s true — Phil Murphy wasn’t thinking about the Bill of Rights when he decided to ban religious services.
Twitter, Facebook, YouTube are all removing speech and videos. Cities and counsels following suit. I thought Donald Trump was for the people? I thought we were going to move right? Guess not.
— ScourgeOfRome (@RomeScourge) May 7, 2020
Republicans on all levels aren't doing a damn thing to protect our rights. Texas is Republican led and look at all the news items lately showing mother's locked up, raids in Odessa, mandatory masks. Why do we vote again?
— ScourgeOfRome (@RomeScourge) May 7, 2020
This isn't America, it's pre-Regan Communist Europe.
The power hungry are out of control without being brought to task and Americans have become such sheep that the ultimate sacrifices of so many to preserve our rights have gone to waste.— Professor Moriarty (@FireUpElQuattro) May 7, 2020
We still can’t believe this is a real story.
