Charles Blow Says Authoritarians ‘Go After’ Comedians, Ben Ferguson Laughs at His Remark

‘They go after people who mock them’

EXCERPT:

BLOW: “Part of the authoritarian ethos is that God shall not be mocked. And they often go after comedians. They often go after people who mock them, and that is what Trump has done, and he has encouraged the entire apparatus of the government to go after people who mock him. Now, are there financial concerns? You can stop for a second. Financial concerns, times have changed. All that may be true, but you cannot divorce the fact that the President himself has been on a rampage against these comedians because he wants them off the air and has said as much.”
