Pelosi: ‘Authoritarian’ Trump Is ‘Attacking’ the First Amendment

‘Our biggest guardian of democracy is the First Amendment’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: STEPHANOPOULOS: "What kind of reception is the president going to get on Tuesday? Some Democrats are thinking of bringing guests they believe have been impacted by the president’s policies."
PELOSI: "Well, that would be a normal thing to do. I, myself, would bring a guest who is a DREAMer. A guest who has — lost her son through gun violence. I’ll bring a guest who is a symbol of the freedom of the press, which the president, in his authoritarian manner, is attacking. And I think that’s really — our biggest guardian of democracy is the First Amendment. The freedom of the press."
