    1st Amendment keeps the *government* from prohibiting free speech. But I'm still free to criticize someone's speech.https://twitter.com/DannyK77/status/912462745458626560 …

    I love how conservatives are always "for the 1st amendment but..." and then criticize other people's free speech rights

        The President is the government. I worry when he tells business owners to fire some guy for speaking. The market will take care of that.

        The gov't encouraged the firing/susp for peacefully protesting. What do you think the 1A means? What if POTUS tried to get you fired?

        You are correct, Sir. Good lesson for America. Corollary: Speak up without fear of consequences. It's worse not to.

        Trump represents the government. Him stepping into this alters the entire calculation. It's an obvious breach for him to call for firings.

        Yes, and you have made quite a name for yourself doing just that. Too bad you don't have positive things to add on your own. It's a paychek

        Honest question, but do you think the president has the same weight as a normal person when they "criticize" a free speech demonstration?

        i.e. "Why can't white people say the "n-word"? Of course anyone can, but not without criticism or judgment 2/2

        True. You are not the problem. Trump is with the way he uses it as incitement.

        But conservatives whine about being called "racist" and how that is like being censored 1/
