The way the writer of this CBS news article inserted the presidents
criticism of Bubba Wallace and his calling for Wallace to apologize for the
incident involving the noose immediately followed by a quote from the president
about freedom of speech gives the impression that the president said that a
noose is freedom of speech.
I am not a fan of President Trump, but this just wrong.

"Well, people love it and I don't view — I know people that like the Confederate flag and they're not thinking about slavery. I look at NASCAR — you go to NASCAR, you had those flags all over the place. They stopped it," Mr. Trump said, referring to the decision by NASCAR to ban the Confederate flag from its events.The president has also criticized Bubba Wallace, NASCAR's only Black full-time driver, saying Wallace should apologize for an incident involving a noose that was discovered in his garage stall at a speedway in Alabama.
"I just think it's freedom of speech, whether it's freedom of speech, whether it's Confederate flags or Black Lives Matter or anything else you want to talk about. It's freedom of speech," Mr. Trump continued.
