Yes, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. People are not entitled to tell you what your opinion should be or that you must agree with their opinion or you are a racist, homophobe, etc.

He didn’t say opinion, he said they don’t have the right to tell you WHO TO VOTE FOR. They don’t and that is in no way the same as voicing an opinion.

I use to listen to his syndicated show Nights With Alice and found him to be an intelligent person [who never spoke about politics on his program].

This. No one is being forced to vote one way or another. People give their opinions,

No one is forcing anyone to agree, or making you follow the advice of someone because you are a fan. Musicians, actors, athletes, authors, or any public figure have the same right to free speech as the rest of us.

I'm a lot more concerned with the use of corporate money to pay lobbyists, spread disinformation, or influence lawmakers than I am with individual celebrities having influence.

It is a tradition of Western Civilization going back to the ancient Greeks that humans should present their views in a marketplace of ideas where they can be weighed upon their merits.

If no one should be allowed to suggest your course of action, how do we allow advertising?

Was he talking about Nugent?

But I'm still the winner! They lied! They cheated! They stole the election!
