Leave it to CNN — AKA “The Most Trusted Name in News” — to find and trot out a presidential historian who used a reference to Adolf Hitler in the 1930s as an excuse to claim Donald Trump makes “it easier for disturbed minds” to try to assassinate him. Disgusting? Of course.
On Monday’s hopelessly biased and irresponsible episode of “CNN NewsNight,” panelist Tim Naftali suggested Trump makes himself an easier target by “using the rhetoric of the 30s.”
I remember so well July 13th. And I remember the conversations in the days that followed. I remember President Biden’s speech about toning down the rhetoric, and I saw the rhetoric toned down on both sides and then 20 minutes into his acceptance speech, Donald Trump turned up the volume.
Oh, please. As my colleague Bob Hoge reported on Monday:
We’ve seen the disgusting reaction from much of the nation’s corrupt media and from multiple Democrat politicians implying or outright saying the GOP nominee deserved it because of his inflammatory rhetoric. We’ve seen hateful leftists like Rachel Vindman laugh about it, showing exactly zero humanity and ignoring the fact that, even if she has political differences with the man, in the end Donald Trump is a human being with a family and has not committed any monstrous murders or other acts that would even remotely rationalize such burning hatred.
Extreme rhetoric against Trump continues at a fever pitch, Mr. Naftali, please.

Naftali continued, claiming he wasn’t blaming Trump for the two assassination attempts, which is exactly what he was suggesting.
I’m not blaming him for what happened, of course. In our country, you do not decide political disputes through violence. But the problem is that we have too much hate speech right now and we are creating an environment—
CNN’s lone, truly-conservative commentator, Scott Jennings, cut off Naftali’s nonsense.
Give me an example. What do you mean by hate speech, because I want to specifically know? Because I think I know what it is, but I’m interested in what you think about this, because I agree with you. I do think we have too much hate speech, but give me an example.
Naftali countered with Trump’s 2023 reference to “the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country,” prompting Jennings to put things into perspective: “So, you think it’s Trump’s fault that he got shot [at] or shot?”
Naftali dodged the logic bullet:
Thank you. Scott, I won’t step in that trap. That’s not what I said. There is no place in this country for violence. But let’s be honest about why we have so much tension in this country. When you dehumanize people, you are using the rhetoric of the 30s. I’m not using — I’m not going to say which country in the 30s, but when you dehumanize people, you make it easier for disturbed minds to do the wrong thing.
Again, nonsense.

Look, if this guy thinks Trump’s “dehumanizing” use of “rhetoric of the 30s” makes “it easier for disturbed minds” to target him, and then denies suggesting the assassination attempts were at least partially his fault, what is that? It’s leftist obfuscation (bald-faced lying) at its “best.”
And the left-wing band plays on.
