Larry discusses how Christopher Hitchens’s widow, Carol Blue-Hitchens, attempted to discredit not only his award-winning 2016 book—which she admits to not reading—but a new book by first-time author Stephen Phillips on the late atheist provocateur. This discussion, and the article on which it is based, offers you an inside look at how censorship on the left works: backroom deals, phone-in favors to media friends, orchestrated attacks, outright lies, and ambush interviews. For five years Larry has said nothing about Ms. Hitchens. But now that she is doing it again, he breaks his silence.
