Time Warner CEO Says Democrats Worse for First Amendment Than Donald Trump

Bewkes singled out Hillary Clinton’s campaign promise to push for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United v. FEC, a 2010 Supreme Court decision that essentially allowed corporations and interest groups to spend money unfettered in the name of political advocacy under the argument that money is speech.

Bewkes seemed to agree with that in his remarks at the conference, saying that Clinton and the Democrats “had a campaign plank to change the First Amendment, and they were doing it in the guise of campaign finance reform.”
