I hate to see this country’s freedoms chipped away.

If people can no longer speak their minds, then they turn into a nation of controlled robots—or an oppressed people as in the novel “1984.”

I think most people would agree he has a right to speak his mind, just like others have the right to criticize him for his inapproriate remarks.
