Conservatives have been doing it pretty regularly. It's a big part of the whole anti-Cancel Culture movement they have going on. Forcing others to silently listen to or passively accept their unwelcome speech is restricting the audience's free speech rights to tell them to fuck off. And that restriction is done in the name of free speech.
I mean, there's Republican bills to do that in what, at least 3 states right now? CA, NY and Florida, plus the new Speaker has it on his docket.
It doesn't matter if they're actually pro free speech or not, when they think that they are and won't change their minds.
Goes right to the heart of OP's question: what should be done about the people who are going to use free speech to hurt people? Where's the limit? Who sets the limit? Should there even be a limit?
