He's literally referred to himself as a free speech absolutist [1]. I don't know how much more explicit it can get here. Unless you want to argue that he's a hypocrite and his words have no meaning or something, in which case that's precisely the problem a lot of people have with him and his 'free speech' stance.

It could be argued that dissemination of someone else's speech isn't your speech, and thus there's no hypocrisy.
