Free speech doesn't include the White House telling Social media what to say or banning candidates from it's platform

[timschannel]

Stop giving money to businesses that dont like America. Come on people.

[maryadkins]

None of these businesses refuse your money. Its up to you to decide if you will give it to them.

[DaveNewman-pohl]

What an educational moment for the whiny assistant manager.

[joshuamitchell]

Just who's free speech are they talking about? Everyone's or just theirs?

[manuelperdomo]

The younger guy should be worried about the pro Palestinian movement 🤔 not trump supporters 🤕😬

[suasponte]

The rainbow crowd has all but ruined Asheville.

[handimanjay]

They are more concerned about what they personally think than the fact that thousands of visitors will be customers.

[ChrisC-yj]

Asheville is notoriously liberal. Good for Trump for going there and debunking all the fake BS

[carvertwin]

The only values his store should have is free speech, quality products, great customer service, and honest trade

[waynelayton]

Weird kid standing by the beliefs of a store! That is the point. They believe in BS

[benhustlin]

That young man should worry more about the homeless people taking over Asheville rather than the the people there to see Trump.

[koltonknighton]

The youngster with the glasses in this video is 100 percent naive and brainwashed.

[LeeTrimble-rekd]

We used to stop in Asheville but we haven't been through there in almost 5 years, That town has really became a freak show,

[ExtraordinaryLiving]

*Trump supports sustainable businesses, free speech, good education, equality, etc.!!!*

[pjwhitmire]

That young kid is so misinformed. I hope he gets to meet some MAGA supporters and sees what we are all about. We want freedom of speech and it’s the Dems trying to shut us up because they don’t like truth. I 🙏 he (and others like him) open their eyes, ears, and hearts to the truth.

[alvincash]

I'm amazed that any small businesses owner or any person with a functioning brain would oppose President Trump's visit.

[FMMONTH]

That young man is one of many misinformed.

[johnf]

What side are you on? The non binary cashier or the normal business owner who sells suits?

It's not uncommon for the metal in the nose ring to have an adverse effect on your mental capability
