If Barack Hussein Obama had called for the revocation of FCC licenses of broadcasters who criticized him, would we conservative lovers of the Constitution have praised or criticized him? That's pretty much all Jonah was saying.
Anyone who truthfully answers that yes, he would have been outraged at Obama, but is defending President Trump's comment may want to rethink his self-proclaimed regard for the First Amendment.
Conservatives and Republicans (not the same thing, clearly) were rightfully up in arms because Hussein kept bashing and blaming Fox News because they dared to broadcast anything that wasn't favorable to him.
If he had said that he was going to take away Fox's license, the same people who are defending Trump would be screeching in rage about Obama.
We can see how far "our side" has fallen when we are arguing for the First Amendment among people who claim to be in favor of the Constitution. They want a dictator to "fix" things and make it more "fair" for us.
I have no doubt that these same folks would defend pretty much anything Trump wants to do.
This country is in BIG trouble.
