Fox had no objection to Family Guy having Peter Griffin fight President Trump

TVLine

"None were articulated by any Powers That Be," says executive producer Rich Appel of last night's special episode that finds Peter working in the White House as press secretary. "It crossed my mind early on, but then I just remembered from law school that the First Amendment protects primarily any free speech against the United States and our elected officials, so we’re good." Asked if they hope President Trump comments on the episode, fellow executive producer Alec Sulkin said: "If he says anything about Family Guy, it’ll be great. We’ll have to air it on Fox News, though. Then maybe he’ll see it." ALSO: Trump episode divides Family Guy fans.
