CNN Likens Trump Administration To Hitler, 'Himmler, Goring, and Goebbels'

Former Trump attorney-turned-anti-Trump crazy person Ty Cobb joined CNN OutFront host Erin Burnett on Monday to compare a photo of new Attorney General Todd Blanche in the Oval Office with President Trump and others to Hitler, "Himmler, Goring, and Goebbels." As if that was not wild enough, Cobb would also baselessly speculate Blanche will rig the upcoming midterms for Trump by seizing voting machines and working with Speaker Mike Johnson to refuse to give up power.

Burnett reacted to a video put out by the White House of Blanche's swearing in by observing, "The man swearing him in is now Judge Emil Bove. Now, I remember seeing him quite a few times when I was at Trump's trial with Stormy Daniels in Lower Manhattan. Bove and Blanche served together on a Trump personal criminal defense team, so they were there."

 

 

She also noticed a few others and wondered, "FBI Director Kash Patel, Stephen Miller were there, the White House deputy chief of policy, they were there. So, what do you see when you see this picture, again, noting that this is what they chose of an entire event to release to all of us?"

Cobb wasted zero time in breaking the outrage scale, "Well, I think there was a summer night in 1934 when Hitler consolidated his power surrounded by Himmler, Goring, and Goebbels. This is reminiscent of that to me, because you've got Blanche and Bove, who saw the president through a trial that resulted in 34 felony convictions. You've got Stephen Miller and Kash Patel."

If Trump or anyone else dares to call a Democrat to a communist, the media will freak out and insist they are not. However, Burnett just sat there silently as Cobb continued, "I think that is the axis of evil that we're up against."

Cobb then conspiracy theorized, "And I think we can rely on all of those people to try to thwart the fair and free elections that America is used to and hope for in November. I think Blanche, unlike Bill Barr, would readily seize voting machines and ballots, and I suspect he'll be asked to by the president. I think he'll be asked to perpetuate the slush fund and find a way to get those funds to the violent insurrectionists. And I think that you will see Blanche as point person when, in January of next year, a Democratic House should be sworn in working with Mike Johnson to prevent that."

Even after Cobb finished, Burnett did not jump into object. Instead, she gave credence the voting machine conspiracy by pointing out that Will Scharf has been named new White House counsel after being involved in Trump's various Washington renovation projects.

Here is a transcript for the August 10 show:

ERIN BURNETT: The man swearing him in is now Judge Emil Bove. Now, I remember seeing him quite a few times when I was at Trump's trial with Stormy Daniels in Lower Manhattan. Bove and Blanche served together on a Trump personal criminal defense team, so they were there.

FBI Director Kash Patel, Stephen Miller were there, the White House deputy chief of policy, they were there. So, what do you see when you see this picture, again, noting that this is what they chose of an entire event to release to all of us?

TY COBB: Well, I think there was a summer night in 1934 when Hitler consolidated his power surrounded by Himmler, Goring, and Goebbels. This is reminiscent of that to me, because you've got Blanche and Bove, who saw the president through a trial that resulted in 34 felony convictions. You've got Stephen Miller and Kash Patel.

I think that is the axis of evil that we're up against. And I think we can rely on all of those people to try to thwart the fair and free elections that America is used to and hope for in November. I think Blanche, unlike Bill Barr, would readily seize voting machines and ballots, and I suspect he'll be asked to by the president. I think he'll be asked to perpetuate the slush fund and find a way to get those funds to the violent insurrectionists.

And I think that you will see Blanche as point person when, in January of next year, a Democratic House should be sworn in working with Mike Johnson to prevent that.
