Appearing on the Monday edition of MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show, New York writer-at-large Frank Rich denounced the letter written by numerous Republican presidential campaigns to media organizations concerning the format of future debates as “fascistic” and written by “scared little children” but “seem[s] to have been drafted by Stalin.”

First asked by Rachel Maddow what he made of Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus’s attempt to regain control of the debate process, Rich compared him to a schoolteacher “about to be canned” after being leveled with “unruly charges.”
