Don’t worry about Donald Trump and the First Amendment, says Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes: He won’t harm it, despite a campaign promise to “open up” libel laws, and a tweet proposing to strip flag-burners of their citizenship.
But Bewkes, who runs one of the world’s biggest media companies, says you should be worried about the Democratic Party, because its 2016 campaign posed a “threat to the First Amendment.”
Speaking at Business Insider’s Ignition conference, Bewkes said Democrats “had a campaign plank to change the First Amendment … in the guise of campaign finance reform.”
