“Businesses cannot discriminate,” Bondi said, referring to the Office Depot incident. “If you wanna go in and print posters with Charlie’s pictures on them for a vigil, you have to let them do that. We can prosecute you for that.”
Exactly the opposite of what these fascist hypocrites said when a bigot refused to make a wedding cake for a same sex couple.
This Sartre quote applies here:
Never believe that anti-Semites fascists are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites fascists have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."
That’s not discrimination. White supremacists and fascists are not a protected ciass. The government is obligated to allow them speech on public property, however Office Depot is not the government or public property. Businesses are not obligated to serve or do business with them or tolerate their speech.
They are a private business right? They can choose not to print them, no?
They’re not even going after a private company. They are going after one (now) ex-employee.
Literally the definition of free speech.
I don’t think that’s correct.

They were just an employee…and they’ve already been fired.
