Rep. Raskin on Trump: ‘As Aspiring Presidential Dictators Go, He Is Simply in a Class by Himself’

‘Trump makes no pretense of respecting any part of the First Amendment’

TRANSCRIPT:

RASKIN: “No president ever transformed the entire machinery of the federal government into an instrument of political propaganda, censorship and repression the way that Donald Trump has. As aspiring presidential dictators go, he is simply in a class by himself. Which is why America now has a No Kings movement of tens of millions of Americans that has risen up to counter him. Trump makes no pretense of respecting any part of the First Amendment. He merges his insatiable greed and his authoritarian politics with his snarling dictatorial desire to stamp out any political, legislative, social, cultural or intellectual expression that he personally disagrees with.”
