Daily Wire Host Michael Knowles claimed that as long as a book is banned by wise and prudent authorities, then it's just fine.

"Well, it depends what the book is and it depends who does the banning. If the banning is being done by bad people who are not going to help you become educated, then I guess you should go read the book," Knowles said. "If the book is being banned by just and wise and prudent authorities, then maybe don't read the book. Depends what the book is."

Who are these wise and prudent authorities? Ron DeSantis, Mike Pence, Stew Peters, Pat Robertson, Don Trump Jr?

What asshole would that be-- exactly?

Later on Knowles took his shot at the left.

“It's a very shallow and glib and liberal and modern idea that you should never ban or suppress any book. It is an idea that is completely out of keeping with the entire Western tradition,” he opined.

Does he mean from the Spanish Inquisition? Any of the Crusades?

Maybe during the War of the Roses? Maybe he thinks it's a western tradition from watching the movie from Umberto Eco's book, "The Name of the Rose?"
