The owner of any business can say whatever he wants free of GOVERNMENT reaction. that, and ONLY that, is what is meant by "Free Speech." As a private citizen I can take offense and refuse to patronize his business, call him a fool, and ask my friends to boycott him. That is MY right.
Some mayors have suggested that they will use the power of government to prevent him expanding into their towns. That is clearly a constitutional violation and they should back down on any such threat.
