Dershowitz: Being Black Doesn't Give You a License to Call People Racist

Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz had some strong words for Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), who accused him of being a racist.

"Being black doesn't give you a license to call people racist any more than being Jewish gives you a license to call people anti-Semitic," the lifelong Democrat told host Abby Huntsman.

Last week, Special Counsel Robert Mueller impaneled a grand jury for the investigation into the Trump campaign's relationship with Russia.

Dershowitz noted that moving the grand jury from Virginia to District of Columbia was good for those who oppose the president.

"[Washington] has an ethnic and racial composition that would be somewhat less favorable to Donald Trump," Derhsowtiz said.

Congresswoman Waters attacked Dershowitz over his statement, calling it "absolutely racist."

Actually, the First Amendment gives ALL of us the license to call ANYONE whatever we want.

Mr. Derhsowtiz seems to have forgotten some of his most basic legal training.

But being black gives you the right to blame white people for everything wrong in your life!

LOL No it doesn't 3:57. You call someone a child molester and it affects their life in a negative way and they sue and see how much the good old 1st Amendment protects you. Remember recently the beautiful first lady Melania Trump sued a blogger in MD for calling her a call girl-and she won. So Mr Dershowitz is absolutely without ANY doubts correct and you are 100% WRONG!

I was going to say libel/slander/defamation but 6:06 beat me to it. The right to free speech is NOT absolute especially when it comes to name calling/labeling such as calling someone a racist/high priced call girl as was the case with the First Lady.
