Reckless hate speech

Regarding Dustin Gardiner’s article, “Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene calls Sen. Scott Wiener a ‘communist groomer’ after he tweets about hate speech” (Politics; Nov. 23): According to the Urban Dictionary, a groomer is “someone who builds a relationship, trust and emotional connection with a child or young person so they can manipulate, exploit and abuse them.” So, indeed, Greene calling Wiener (a gay state senator) a groomer amounted to hate speech and has the potential to incite violence against the LGBTQ community.

How can Elon Musk be so reckless that he decided to reinstate Greene on Twitter, considering how much she indulges in conspiracy theories and hate speech? And how can her constituents be so reckless to re-elect someone like her? Pradeep Srivastava, Albany
