Julian Zelizer : Donald Trump has a perplexing and troubling attitude toward freedom of speech.

He says he has tried to sell himself as a vigorous advocate for freedom of expression.

Zelizer says he's not a card-carrying member of the American Civil Liberties Union .

Trump is like the boxer who can throw a punch but can't take one, he says, and cannot abide any slight.

Salon: Donald Trump is right that what was presented on “ 60 Minutes ” was not the complete answer to the question she was asked by the interviewer, Bill Whittaker , about whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was listening to the Biden Administration .

Salon: Trump 's reaction to the Harris interview went much further and crossed a First Amendment red line.

The FCC Chair of Jessica Rosenworcel called Trump ’s threat “serious”.
