To induce public harm, I believe was the term you used in court.

He pointed out&nbsp;that he couldn&rsquo;t find a history of Bondi making any remarks about the LGBT community prior to the Orlando massacre that were not hurtful or derogatory:<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s just that &mdash; I will say I have never really seen you talk about <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gays<\/a> and <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">lesbians<\/a> and transgender people in a positive way until now.
