MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace said Monday that she doesn’t think “any Democrat has” suggested that President Donald Trump is Hitler — but the record shows Democrats and their media allies have long run an assassination prep campaign against the president.
During Monday’s interview, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker fearmongered about the rise of “authoritarianism” in the United States under Trump, claiming that Trump is “following precisely a kind of playbook that we’ve seen throughout history.” Wallace chimed in to suggest that comparing Trump to Hitler is “not a partisan analysis” because J.D. Vance wondered whether Trump could be “America’s Hitler” back in 2016. (Vance clarified in the Vice Presidential debate last October that he had been “wrong about Donald Trump,” in part because of the media’s “dishonest fabrications of [Trump’s] record.”)
“You’ve put some architecture behind the parallels that involve all of us, and you’ve talked about — the first thing you said was ‘people being asked for their papers,’ American citizens being asked to show up with papers, street vendors being asked to produce passports, rounding people up, and good people looking the other way, thinking ‘that’s not about me. You know, I’m a citizen.’ But who do they go after next?” Wallace said. She then indicated to Pritzker to “talk a little bit about why that’s so uncomfortable for so many people.”
“I’m not suggesting, I haven’t suggested that Donald Trump is Hitler,” Pritzker said.
“I don’t think any democrat has,” Wallace interjected, before once again pointing to J.D. Vance’s comments.
