Eugene Delgaudio: Texas Congressman Gohmert Is Right-- Freedom Of Press Is First On Obama 's Chopping Block With Associated Press Break In
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) told the large group of reporters gathered for a press conference on Thursday that the Department of Justice seizure of phone records from the Associated Press is what happens when a "tyrannical despot" is running the government.
"If the AP story has taught anything it should be to the media that when there is a tyrannical despot, the media will be one of the early victims," Gohmert said. "You will be used as helpful savants for awhile, and then when you are no longer needed, you'll be pressured and put out of business as well."
