CNN went wayyy over the top today in responding to Trump’s CPAC speech, with this comparison to Hitler. Cuz we can’t get enough of that and it definitely persuades people, right?
Watch below:

Transcript from Mediaite:
Vinograd said on CNN this afternoon, “His statement makes me sick, on a personal level, preserving your heritage, reclaiming our heritage, that sounds a lot like a certain leader that killed members of my family and about six million other Jews in the 1940s.”
“By the way, this whole CPAC speech, how many pieces, parts of President Putin’s to-do list was President Trump trying to accomplish today? He denigrated our institutions, the Department of Justice and U.S. Congress, he spread misinformation and conspiracy theories, he undermined the credibility of several of our institutions, he sewed divisions, he sewed confusion, he was speaking to his base but he was also saying things that really looked like Vladimir Putin scripted his speech. So it helped him perhaps with his base, and politically, while at the same time, making Russia’s job a lot easier.”
Well, yeah. But it’s not illegal to have a foreign policy that aligns up with Putin’s global stratagems. And people voted for it. So make your case that he’s wrong, argue your side, don’t just whine about what has been pretty obvious since before the presidential election.
Now everyone have an open thread. Here’s some comment fodder:
BREAKING: #LauraLoomer was just BANNED by #CPAC as she was going through security to listen to @realDonaldTrump speak.

Are they sure it was a cutout?
Police found a "deranged person standing outside in the cold hugging a pillow" was actually just a cardboard cutout of MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell https://t.co/71CUiZzTjl pic.twitter.com/4LnKk5WpZo
