During a rally in Fort Worth, Texas, a political figure aggressively criticized Jeff Bezos, the owner of the Washington Post. He ominously warned that if he were to become president, Bezos and his company would face significant challenges, indicating a promise of retribution or opposition against media entities that he views unfavorably.

This moment reflects broader themes discussed in the book "How Democracies Die" by Steven Levitsky, which examines the threats posed by political leaders who undermine democratic institutions and media freedom. The rhetoric used at such events highlights the growing tension between political power and independent journalism in contemporary society.
