Well, ABC paid me $16 million recently for a form of hate speech, right? Your company paid me $16 million for a form of hate speech, so maybe they'll have to go after you, Trump added."
"Donald Trump says he will send the DOJ after the press if they say things he doesn't like, wrote California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) while sharing the clip. The party of free speech strikes again, replied Fox News host Jessica Tarlov. The mask is off. Trump defines hate speech as anything that wounds his fragile ego.

President Donald Trump snapped at ABC News chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl after Karl asked about Attorney General Pam Bondi's vow to crack down on hate speech related to the murder of Charlie Kirk. Trump said Bondi "would probably go after people like you" and accused Karl of treating him unfairly, adding that ABC "paid me $16 million recently for a form of hate speech." Trump's remarks prompted immediate criticism from politicians and commentators who warned that the president appeared to threaten using the Justice Department against the press and to equate critical speech with punishable hate speech.
