The first amendment places no restriction on freedom of speech.
Freedom of speech is not freedom of paid _amplification_.
You can't keep dangerous things from being amplified by word of mouth, but restricting broadcast or electronic amplification is totally kosher.

It's not the speech that Trump is being impeached for.
It's the broadcasting, the paid propaganda & adverts.
It's the use of the presidency to SPREAD that message that, were he just rando naked guy on the corner, prolly wouldn't have drawn enough support to take over Starbucks

Trump used the attention and free media granted by the Office of the President to amplify his message that incited and produced imminent lawless action.
That's what the impeachment is about.
That's what the impeachment is about.
It's not just about what he said.
Trump used the power of the Presidency to amplify +enact summoning and activating the mob, both explicitly AND implicitly.
He couldn't have done it if he weren't President.
