LETTER: Freedom of speech applies to both conservatives, liberals

The Trump supporters are too funny.

They’re the first ones to push the slander button the very first time someone objects to the form of “journalism” that Michelle Malkin practices on a weekly basis, but they’re ready to pull out the pitchforks and torches when a comedian like Michelle Wolf says something at the correspondents’ dinner against Trump’s daughter or Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

They scream the loudest about how Ms. Malkin is exercising her right to free speech and how we should just shut our mouths and sit back while she does so, but oh no, if the exact same is done to someone they like, that person should definitely shut their mouth and keep quiet.

The last time I looked, didn’t the freedom of speech apply to liberals as well as conservatives?
