“[President Obama] also said this, per a transcript from his office: Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the White House press corps…Imagine if I had said to law firms that were representing parties that were upset with policies my administration had initiated, that you will not be allowed into government buildings. We will punish you economically for dissenting from the Affordable Care Act or the Iran deal. We will ferret out students who protest against my policies. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me, or a whole bunch of my predecessors. “People tend to think, eh, democracy, rule of law, an independent judiciary, freedom of the press—that’s all abstract stuff, because it’s not affecting the price of eggs,” Obama said. “Well, you know what? It’s about to affect the price of eggs.””
