Does the left hate free speech?

I say no and in response, I'm posting two videos on the subject by a transgender leftist Youtube comedian. It contains explicit material and says some mean things about the alt-right as well as a cutting take-down on the contradictions of classical liberals on this subject. Because you all agree with free speech, you'll watch the videos and address the points they raise, without resorting to insults or ad-hominems. Or not.

Freedom of speech was meant to support the oppressed, not to bully and oppress those that need support.

@InOtterWords And to give us the ability to protest and question our leaders without fear of government reprisal.

...yet they've literally wanted Trump to arrest people for protesting against him, deporting people who disagree with him, etc.

@InOtterWords Also if they're for free speech and the first amendment, then they would be against banning Muslims and Islam, because banning someone for having a different religion is literally violating their free speech and their right to freedom of religion, not to mention censorship.
