In Hillary Clinton’s campaign kickoff speech yesterday, she advocated for banning discrimination against LGBT Americans. Somehow, that sounded like outlawing free speech to Rupert Murdoch

In an apparent response to Clinton's speech, Murdoch tweeted:

Media Matters noted:

It’s unclear to what Murdoch was referring. During her speech, Clinton stated that “we should ban discrimination against LGBT Americans and their families so they can live, learn, marry, and work just like everybody else.” Earlier, she recognized “[b]usiness leaders who want higher pay for employees, equal pay for women and no discrimination against the LGBT community either.”

In recent months, Clinton has urged the Supreme Court to rule in favor of marriage equality and condemned proposed so-called “religious freedom” legislation in Arkansas and Indiana on the grounds that they provide a legal defense “beyond protecting religion” for business owners who discriminate against LGBT people.

It sounds like Murdoch is handing off the CEO reins in a blaze of stupidity.
