To say they have a right to speak is something different than you handing them the megaphone.

You are the same as the social media people who want to take the megaphone away from the people they don't like.

Political speech, by anyone, is the very speech the founders intended to protect with the First Amendment.

Are you afraid that you are such a weak-minded person that you would become a Nazi if you listened to one?

You are so wrong.

I am all for free speech. But would I invite a known communist to speak in my house to my friends, just to honor free speech? No. They don’t need me to be heard.

Free speech means I hire my own megaphone, without legal opposition from you, and you hire your own megaphone, without legal opposition from me - end of free speech. My opponents get to get their own megaphone, not mine.

Tucker claiming some Nazi has a right to be heard and would not be heard unless Tucker gave him the microphone, is an intellectual lie and Tucker knows it.

He does these things only to get more attention and income for himself, period.
