Perfunction, quoting political philosopher John Mellencamp.

I don't think people fought and gave their lives so that some guy can sit in his bedroom and be mean. I don't think that's what freedom of speech is, Freedom of speech is really about assembly — for us to collectively have an idea.

Right. It's only free speech if one leader claims to speak for the collective. Saying something else, possibly dissenting, as an individual? Not free speech.
