    The quotations are getting ridiculous. This isn’t a ‘hate crime’ It’s a hate crime.

      The quotes were because it wasn’t a declaration by the writer or an editorial choice, it was an actual quote (or snippet of one) by a public official. In this case, it’s appropriate.

      They’re literally quoting someone. It’s standard practice in media and grammatically correct.
