Fasano Response to Hateful Social Media Comments Directed Toward both Democrat and Republican Lawmakers

Senate Republican Leader Len Fasano (R-North Haven) released the following statement regarding a press conference held today regarding hateful comments on social media.

“I agree with the Sen. Looney and Sen. Duff about the importance of speaking out against hate. There is a serious problem on social media that has nothing to do with political parties. Far too many people hide behind their keyboard and write vicious, hurtful and despicable comments about people on social media. Sometimes Republicans are targeted. Sometimes Democrats are. It is always unacceptable behavior. Social media allows people to speak their mind, but it should never allow people to make threatening statements.”
