Democratic Representative Jim Himes of Connecticut appeared on CNN's 'New Day' Monday morning and weighed in on President Trump's anti-media message.
"Pretty much every president before this one has understood that the media is absolutely essential to our liberty...Dictators attack the media," Himes said.
His comments come one day after Trump shared a wrestling video in which he battles an opponent whose head has been digitally replaced with a CNN logo. After forcing the CNN wrestler to the mat, Trump throws a couple of punches at his head.....

It takes one to know one, especially in the case of a
“democratic” congressman.
IMHO
Lol...good one!
When a real dictator takes over, the first thing he orders his guys to do is seize the radio and TV stations and the pencil press headquarters. These days, he’d also have to take over all the websites. Sometimes I think it’s not such a bad idea.
Listen to him on that video and tell me I’m wrong.
Yeah, about that Congressman, sir:
Obama’s FBI was SPYING on Journalists!
Not one of these offended articles about Trump body slamming the CNN mannekin mentions the nightly Trump assasination in Central Park. Curious. Of course, if they weren’t hypocrites, they wouldn’t be Rats.
The urinalists who pose as reporters grow very upset and start name calling when the President points out that they are peeing on the truth.
And paid propagandists attack legitimate leaders.
President Bill Clinton blamed Rush Limbaugh for the Oklahoma City Bombing.
In a non-dictatorship, Hines, the media attacks the President.
Certainly you would agree that they have been.
That completely counters your argument.
.
They loved Castro, Daniel Ortega, the USSR, and the Khmer Rouge.
Would he say the same thing if 95% of the so called Journalists were Conservative Republicans instead of Liberal Democrats?
Obama wasn’t above harsh words for FOX or Rush , or Hannity.
Jim Hines is pissed because the media and democrats are one.
Suck it Jimmy boy.

Bzzzt. Thanks for playing, brainiac. Dictators OWN the media, they don’t attack them.
The media is controlled by the Democrats.
How many reporters did the “media is essential to our liberty”-loving Obama lock up during his 8 years? Maybe Trump should take that approach instead of just being “mean” to them on Twitter.
The media has become a domestic enemy of the highest order. They have no honor or shame and care less about the Republic while pushing an agenda.
Trump is not attacking the media, he’s using the media to attack liars.
He must be an idiot...a democrat elected in disconnecticutt.
