DNC Chair Likens Trump To Putin, Kim, Castro: ‘Authoritarian Socialist Regimes Undermine the Media’

EXCERPT:

PEREZ: And I find it very ironic when you hear this president using the word socialist all the time. I mean he — Putin, Kim, Castro, what they all have in common is they were doing so many of the same things. You shouldn’t be attacking the press the way this president does. It’s unprecedented. You shouldn’t be — you shouldn’t be golfing —

WALLACE: I — wait a minute — I got to — I got to interrupt just for a second.
