In 2016, [[Geert Wilders]] was convicted of making statements against Moroccan immigrants that were supposedly offensive (it was not a criminal conviction, but one could reasonably argue he shouldn't have been charged in the first place).<ref>Goins-Phillips, Tré (December 9, 2016).

==Fake hate speech==
In addition to using the term "hate speech" to falsely accuse Christians and conservatives of "hate," leftists sometimes create hate speech hoaxes. For example, in July 2018, a woman in Texas claimed that a customer in a restaurant gave her a racist note – something the [[mainstream media]] widely covered – when in fact, she wrote the note herself.<ref>Tennant, Michael (July 24, 2018).
