'There's a sense that conservatism is normal, and that white conservative men are the norm'

MSNBC's AM Joy host Joy Reid on Sunday likened the coverage of President Donald Trump to the media's treatment of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler in the 1930s.

Reid and her panel spent several minutes going after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) and claimed he was helping Trump allegedly empower white nationalism, according to Newsbusters.

After other panelists spoke, Reid jumped into the conversation to suggest McConnell was intentionally trying to destroy the United States for minorities before they gain power in the future.

"You know, somebody said to me this week, I thought was so smart, that it's almost as if Mitch McConnell's plan is that they know the demographics are what they are, and that the only way they're willing to hand power to the non-white majority in this country ever is if the country is completely a shell and broke, and they'll hand them the broken pieces and keep all the wealth for themselves," Reid said.

Later in the segment, Reid attempted to compare the "benign" media coverage of Hitler to modern-day coverage of Trump.

"I have this old set of New York Times front covers … to show how benign the coverage was even in the 1930s, as the world was about to burn down in World War II," Reid said. "And the just sort of benign things, you know, it's like a tick of wanting to see world leaders—in that case of Germany—they just want to see them as normal and I don't know where that comes from, but it is really—and I think it wouldn't be so if those leaders were not white men, I have to say."

"White Republican men," a panelist said.

"White Republican—white conservative [men]. There's a sense that conservatism is normal, and that white conservative men are the norm, and that anything but that—I mean, you almost have Elizabeth Warren almost being depicted as some sort of crazy communist when she's a totally normal politician who just wants people to have health care," Reid continued.

This isn't the first time Hitler has been invoked to talk about the Trump administration. The former chair of psychiatry at Duke University Allen Frances on Sunday claimed Trump "may be responsible for many more million deaths" than dictators Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong. CNN host Don Lemon said back in June that Trump's immigration rhetoric could lead him down the same path as Hitler, saying it starts with "little lies."

MSNBC host Donny Deutsch also invoked a Nazi comparison in May.

Actually, most of media fawned over Hitler in the 1930’s because he, along with Stalin, were supposedly putting their people back to work, as opposed to the massive unemployment in the US and Western Europe.

[Spok]

This level of ignorance is almost beyond the ability to imagine. It’s staggering. Trump is promoting freedom, in the constitutional sense and economic sense. The left, by promising abundant wealth without effort, is promoting slavery. THAT was Hitler’s promise.

[LegendHasIt]

Ya know... When these news people (and all assorted leftists with any sort of public platform) say the same sort of outrageous, idiotic things every day, for years...

At some point it doesn’t really seem like it should be newsworthy anymore.

It is like getting upset when being told that water is wet.

[a fool in paradise]

It’s surprising the CPUSA got their own network now!

Joy Reid Likens Coverage of Trump to German Media’s Treatment of Jews in 1930s.

Fixed it for accuracy.

[BenLurkin]

The so-called media has been trying to destroy him from the very moment he announced his candidacy.

What world does she live in?

Makes sense. After all, HE IS HITLER!

[Maris Crane]

The Left is really obsessed with Hitler.

I never saw anything like it.

They should all be analyzed and committed for OCD.

[rfp1234]

More like paranoia-schizophrenia.

‘There’s a sense that conservatism is normal’

It is. It’s the leftwing weirdos that Joy Reid likes who are not normal. Trannies and queers are not normal. They never will be normal. Sorry. Reality. NYC, DC, and LA need to be their own thing.

[rfp1234]

Conservatism is normal.

Exactly what you said...the last time I paid any serious attention to this affirmative action hire woman was when she was writing in her blog about how much fags disgusted her...

Mitch McConnell's wife:

Daniel Cameron, Republican Candidate for Attorney General in Kentucky in the 2019 election who McConnell is supporting in his election over a white male opponent:

Ralph Alvarado, Kentucky State Senator that McConnell has backed in his races for public office previously and is currently supporting in his race to become Kentucky Lieutenant Governor over a white opponent:

The markings of a "white supremacist" agenda could not be more stark, could they? Not to mention McConnell has in his Senate caucus the likes of Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and Tim Scott to help him further his white supremacist agenda there as well - working in concert with Elaine Chao and Ben Carson in Trump's cabinet.

[o-n-money]

I liken Joy Reid to a kid that refused to open his history book.

[TMN78247]

I seriously think that “Joy-LESS Behar” is clinically INSANE, IF she actually believes the absurd nonsense that she spouts on TV.

#3. Joy Reid doesn’t READ much history, does she? The Germans killed Black American soldiers, including POWs (somewhere there is a study or book on this subject, but I don’t know the correct title).

Perhaps Reid should READ about Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va) and the KKK he led back in the 40’s. They weren’t very friendly to blacks or white liberals.

Damned, this woman was born “Stuck on Stupid” and will remain that way the rest of her sorry, pathetic, nutjob life.

[MarvinStinson]

Excellent

[Maris Crane]

That too.

[kiryandil]

I would bet that Joyless would be good at the Spandau Ballet...
