CNN Compares Trump to Hitler and Kristallnacht Years

CNN is having a moment. Again.

This time, CNN Chief International Anchor Christiane Amanpour casually compared President Donald Trump’s four years in office to the violent, anti-Jewish Kristallnacht, which saw buildings set on fire, books burned, and Jewish citizens murdered.

Per CNN and Amanpour, those violent attacks mirror our last four years:

"A modern-day assault on those same values by Trump."

Is that so, CNN?

Amanpour's comments follow a trend set by left-wing media. When they run out of points to make, they compare Trump's reign to Nazi Germany. Is it lazy? Yes. Is it effective among ill-informed Twitter users? Also yes.

It is as if this gross analogy was sent as a talking point from a Democratic precinct. Just a few days ago, MSNBC had political expert Robert De Niro on to discuss Trump. You guessed it. He compared him to Adolf Hitler.

Not a lot individual thinking going on these days.
