J.D. Vance’s Dangerous Attack on Independent Media
About this episode
Marc Elias exposes how the Trump administration and Vice President J.D. Vance are exploiting a tragic ICE killing in Minnesota to spread lies, smear a victim, and justify an alarming crackdown on independent media and free speech. He breaks down why targeting journalists and lawful speech is a direct threat to the First Amendment—and a key step in normalizing authoritarian power.
