Joe Concha: ‘A Threat to the First Amendment Doesn’t Happen’ When Trump’s ‘Mean’

‘That is exercising his First Amendment rights’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
CONCHA: "By the way, a threat to the First Amendment doesn’t happen when a president is mean to the press. When he is nasty to them. That is exercising his First Amendment rights. You could say it is beneath the presidency. What we are confusing Trump being made to the press with First Amendment being suppressed. The First Amendment, Tucker, was under threat under the Obama Administration. They spied on James Rosen. Not only that, at this network, James Rosen. They designated him as a flight risk so they were then have to tell them about their surveillance. They secretly seized associated Press phone records. They rejected a record number of FOIA request, freedom of information requests. Those are threats to the First Amendment. Jeff Mason should have been speaking out to that at other White House correspondents dinner’s. Parties should have been canceled, boycotts should have happened under the Obama Administration. Actions, Obama, words, Trump. That is a difference here."
