Trump's choice to uniformly label Mexican immigrants as rapists etc. has had consequences for him, but his freedom to speak has not been denied. As a matter of fact his position as a Republican candidate for POTUS has greatly amplified his speech and his multiple subsequent opportunities to explain his speech.

Please, READ about the groups spearheading the anti Trump actions. Move on alone is spending money and time to do wahtever they can do, and that is just one..just one..of the left wing groups who are now in full battle gear on this.
THAT is not free speech.
I disagree with Trump on almost everything, but organized, well financed groups are behind this. NBC, etc are not acting alone.
And you have not mentioned what the thread was more about....INDIVIDUAL rights to free speech
