"Why is it okay to penallize someone for exercising their right to free speech"
For a group that professes to champion free speech, you certainly don't seem to understand a damn thing about it.
Of COURSE she has the right to express herself. What you are implying is that there should NEVER be any consequences. What you are implying is that NO ONE should ever be held responsible for what they say. So, if a Republican candidate hired a white supremacist, you'd be fine with that, right? Somehow, I doubt it.
She can say whatever she wants, but she's also RESPONSIBLE for it. I know you leftists abhor the idea of responsibility, but us grown-ups in the real world think it's a good idea.
