Not all are, but plenty of them are. When admin people like Bondi are using the phrase "hate speech" I consider that questioning the boundaries of 1A. Now, she got slammed for doing it and back peddled but it happened. Plenty on the right are hardly hard right. They have adopted plenty of left wing ideas because they do not understand the base ideas of natural rights and law.
Freedom of association is not understood by many on the right. Firing people because they have shared views their employers do not like is not a violation of 1A. I think we agree on that. Most of the state actions the left like to take should be social mechanisms. The problem is that both parties have not respected freedom of association.
I remember when Rush Limbaugh's radio show was gaining traction in NYC and nationally, the left wanted to keep him off the air. This was in 1991. 60 minutes had a segment about Rush's growing popularity and of course there was the obligatory left wing talking point: he is spreading hate, therefore the FCC must intervene and take him off the air. I repeat, this was 1991

I think you're getting your news from CNN, I watch the psyops pretty close and everything I've seen is setting the stage for RICO, Incitement, and the licensing requirements of the FCC.
None of that equates to you can't call Trump agent-orange on TV.
The Bondi example is a bad one, I assume because it's the only one. If you had a better one, share it. Hers was a short clip going around and she literally pointed to an existing statute.

Not getting stuff from CNN. The Bondi clip is just an example of how clueless she is. Hate speech is a leftist idea and she was ridiculed by many on the right. Its just wild for her to start using this leftist term while talking about a man that literally opposed this idea.
Not sure what your point is. Trump isn't really an ideological guy but plenty in his admin are and I think the understanding of historic American views on rights is pretty poor. My point is that there are people online identify as Trump supporters that clearly do not understand rights. They often sound like Christian leftists. We have an education problem.
