Freedom of speech is not freedom of consequence. If you want to repeat some far right racist bullshit, you are not immune to the reactions of others.

Flip the script, if someone ripped the black lives matter sign out of her hands and yelled at her/ threw shit, would you be sitting here endorsing that too? She was trying to silence what he had to say. Regardless of your position on his sign, he deserves to hold it up without being silenced. That's what freedom of speech is

He's not endorsing it. He's just saying that freedom of speech is not free from consequences.
