We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
Ty Cobb, a former White House attorney in President Donald Trump’s first term, said the actions of his former boss are “evocative” of an episode in which the Nazis yanked comedians from German airwaves.
Cobb appeared on Friday’s edition of Meet the Press Now, where Kristen Welker asked about the ramifications of government pressure campaigns against the media.
“It’s evocative of what we’ve seen throughout history,” Cobb said. “In 1939, Dr. Goebbels, at Hitler’s instruction, removed five comedians, or witticists as they were called at the time, from the airways in Germany and for criticizing or making fun of the government in a satire way.”
Cobb was referring to a 1939 incident in which the Nazi minister of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, blacklisted five entertainers because, as Goebbels put it, “in their public appearances they displayed a lack of any positive attitude toward National Socialism and therewith caused grave annoyance in public and especially to party comrades.” Goebbels accused the five of being “brazen, impertinent, arrogant and tactless.”
