Tweet From Obama mentioning my firing from the Washington post. Wirh a photo of me
The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.

Now he is tweeting in support of me.
This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel
Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.
