And yes, freedom of speech dictates that she's allowed to say anything she wants, which she is more than welcome to do.

Also the party she represents has certain values that they want to espouse. Thankfully, racism, bigotry and misogyny isn't one of them. They are fully within their rights to can anyone that doesn't represent their values.
They are within their rights to do so and IMO in this case should have done so, but they didn’t can her. According to her the reason she’s stepping down is because she doesn’t want to be “smeared” for her comments.
