I agree. The Constitution protects speech you don't like and it protects people who are unpopular.
Anyone who doesn't think likewise either doesn't understand the Constitution (and I can forgive their ignorance), or else they're an enemy of the Constitution and they should be treated accordingly.
That's 'cherry picking' Bart. Include the context, and the constitutional protection for free speech dissolves.

"They are not equivalent," he said in an interview.
"Black Lives Matter and (anti-fascists) need to be called out for their problems, but a Nazi, is a Nazi, is a Nazi. And I think we all agree that Nazis are bad."
Even US Courts agree that the right to free speech does not extend to where another persons' right to safety and security are violated. Chanting "Blood and Soil" is not free speech, it is hate speech.
