MSNBC Panel Describes Revocation of Brennan's Security Clearance as 'Creeping Authoritarianism'

During Wednesday's edition of MTP Daily, the panel overreacted to the President's revocation of Former CIA Director John Brennan's security clearance.  Guest host Katy Tur read aloud a tweet from Brennan alleging that President Trump wants to "suppress freedom of speech & silence critics."  In an effort to advance Brennan's narrative, Tur mentioned that "the President has tried to revoke the TV license, the FCC license for television networks, including NBC, because he doesn't like what we report about him."  In response to Tur's comments, former Spokesman for the National Security Council Ned Price warned of "creeping authoritarianism": "This very much fits a pattern, Katy. It's a pattern of authoritarianism, creeping authoritarianism that we see on the part of President Trump." Price then argued that "President Trump admires people like the President of Turkey, like the President of Egypt, like the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, people who exert absolute control or near control over their societies. And we have actually seen the President attempt to actually import some of these practices, most recently with this today."
