On Sunday’s edition of “Meet the Press,” Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., took a swipe at President Trump for calling many outlets of the Democrat-media complex enemies of the American people.
According to Reuters:
The international order established after World War Two was built in part on a free press, McCain said in an excerpt of an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” that was released in advance of the full Sunday morning broadcast.
“I hate the press. I hate you especially,” he told interviewer Chuck Todd from an international security conference in Munich. “But the fact is we need you. We need a free press. We must have it. It’s vital.”
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
“If you want to preserve –Â I’m very serious now –Â if you want to preserve democracy as we know it, you have to have a free and many times adversarial press. And without it, I am afraid that we would lose so much of our individual liberties over time. That’s how dictators get started,” he continued.
“They get started by suppressing free press. In other words, a consolidation of power. When you look at history, the first thing that dictators do is shut down the press. And I’m not saying that President Trump is trying to be a dictator. I’m just saying we need to learn the lessons of history,” McCain said.
Here’s video of his comments:
It’s not the first time McCain has bashed Trump. Last week, he attacked the President while speaking in Germany.
Now, he seems to be okay with a lying media that constantly puts out false and misleading information in order to fuel anti-Trump hate.
