The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s longtime editorial cartoonist just lost his job.

Haven’t we learned the lessons from recent history? Rob Rogers was the editorial cartoonist for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for over two decades. He was just fired by the paper’s new owner (a politically conservative Trump supporter) because he didn’t like the way the cartoons criticized Trump. This is an affront to our first amendment rights to freedom of speech and freedom of the press. If you know anything about recent history, this is reminiscent of the tactics used by Hitler in the early 1930s- suppression of the press. As I am seeing the sequelae of the tragedy of fascism here in Eastern Europe, this is frightening.
