Free speech is a principle outside of the 1st amendment.

...but since "literally" now means "figuratively" I honestly don't know where the line is.

It reminds of how in China, the CCP keeps around a few minor political parties to maintain the illusion that they aren't running a one party state. Any political parties which threaten the authority of the state are banned. The eight minor parties are like the token conservatives (think people who voted for Evan McMullin to protest Trump). The banned parties are everyone else.

Except Molyneux is not a "literal white supremacist and nazi". He is a conservative.
Literal white supremacists and nazis however, do not. Those people should be pushed so far off any platform that their only option left is to be the crazies screaming on Times Square that the end of the world is coming.
These people actively contributed to fostering hatred in societies, And no, you will not fight them off with debates. The time it takes you to rebuke a single one of their arguments means they can spew a dozen more of theirs.
By the way, it's not free speech. The government isn't banning them.
