Nunes echoes Trump’s authoritarian view on press, says Stephen Colbert’s skit about him is a ‘danger’ to the country

“Devin Nunes is a REDACTED,” says a memo Colbert circulated on Capitol Hill, asking Democratic and Republican members of Congress to fill in the blank.

“I think this is the danger we have in this country,” Nunes told host Neil Cavuto on Saturday in response. “This is an example of it.”

Except, two things:

1. We live in a free-speech society, and

2. Colbert is a comedian.

Unlike journalists, Colbert has no obligation to report the facts, or even be unbiased. His job is to make people laugh, not be fair to politicians. Through the First Amendment, this country's founders allowed Colbert to make fun of whichever powerful person he wants to without fear of retribution from that person.
