Imagine if we had a President like JB Pritzker.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 20d

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

He didn't just invoke MLK's "arc of the moral universe" line.

He added that the arc won't bend itself and people need to step up to make that change happen.

Absolutely right. Pitch perfect.

First, this is correct.
Second, notice how Pete runs us through the stases:
-what is it
-what do we call it
-is it good or bad?
-what do we do about it?

Clear thinking is persuasive thinking.

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.
