Judy Collins exercised her right to free speech with anti-Trump talk at concert – Wyoming Tribune

Ms. McMaster: Addressing your remarks about Judy Collins regarding the president. This is not a Hollywood rant, it is Ms. Collins exercising her right to free speech. You saw Ms. Collins perform five years ago; surely you knew of her liberal leanings. If the positions were reversed, and Ms. Collins had said something disparaging about former President Obama, would your reactions been the same?

Freedom of speech is a right enshrined in our Constitution, and it is a highway that runs both ways.

To quote Voltaire: I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it

Ms. McMaster, your correct action (maybe) would have been to get up from your seat, go to the box office and, in righteous indignation, demand a refund of your ticket. But you did not do that, did you? Bet you enjoyed the show, Mrs. Lincoln!
