Kayleigh McEnany Says CBS’s Scott Pelley ‘Should’ve Been Arrested’ for Anti-Trump Graduation Speech

The former White House press secretary made the explosive comment during Tuesday’s episode of The Five on Fox News, while reacting to Pelley’s now-viral address to graduates at Wake Forest University.

In the speech, Pelley warned students that under Trump, “the rule of law, journalism and freedom of speech are all under attack.”

Gutfeld then pointed out the obvious: “He wasn’t arrested after that, you know. He wasn’t arrested, Kayleigh.” [presumably intimating that the First Amendment is not under attack.]

That’s when McEnany dropped the bombshell: “Yeah, well, look, he should have been.”
Typically, one of the first things a dictator does when they seize power is to suppress or outright eliminate the free press. Then they do the same to the courts.

‘Just Move Out of Our Country’: Racists Unleash Hate on Black College Graduate for Her Refusal to Stand for National Anthem In Viral Video​

For an article cobbled together from angry Twitter posts, it surprisingly would almost pass muster on CF, but it's a little too First Amendment-y.
