But for some reason, CNN seems to think that just because Burns has made films about stuff like baseball or Prohibition, he’s qualified to deliver competent analysis of modern American politics. Evidently they didn’t learn anything from the time they had him on and he and anchor John Berman drew parallels between Ron DeSantis sending migrants to Martha’s Vineyard and the freakin’ Holocaust, because he was back today on “CNN This Morning” with more parallels between Ron DeSantis and Nazi Germany, plus a few other things sprinkled in for good measure:
Transcript:
Ken Burns: “You know, what makes America great is not the suppression of ideas, or the pursuit of every corner of those ideas may lead us, or the facts. It’s, it’s about who we are and how we investigate who we are and celebrate the diversity of who we are. All of these bills that DeSantis and others are doing limit our ability understand who we are and are not inclusive. They’re exclusive. They’re, they’re narrowing the focus of what is and isn’t American history. It’s terrifying. It feels like a Soviet system, or, you know, the way the Nazis would build a Potemkin village. Tucker Carlson’s doing the same thing with the footage from, uh, 1/6. It’s just, uh, a kind of rewriting of history at the most dangerous level. It’s, it’s a huge threat to our republic. I’m doing, Don, a film right now, working on a major series on the history of the American Revolution, and I can tell you that Thomas Jefferson, and Thomas Paine, and George Washington, and John Adams, and James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton are rolling over in their graves if they think that this person is carrying the mantle of what it is to be American.”
What? No, seriously. What???

Sure, Trump was literally hitler, but DeSantis is Super hitler, literally. And Tucker is exposing police state malfeasance, JUST LIKE SOVIET JOURNALISTS WERE FAMOUS FOR.
I feel like someday Ken Burns will be arrested for child porn.
It feels like a Soviet system, or, you know, the way the Nazis would build a Potemkin village.
Really, was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor ??
“You know, what makes America great is not the suppression of ideas...but I think suppressing ideas is a swell thing anyway.”
The left projects very well.
NAZIs built Potemkin villages?
This guy ran out of material about 2 dramamentaries ago. If he was producing this piece at the time of the revolution before the Constitution was adopted he’d be decrying the revolutionary, destructive, and murderous actions of the founding fathers.
Hey Ken, we’ll believe our lying eyes, not you. But thanks anyway.
Obvious manipulation of video by 1/6 commission for political equity is okay.
Expose’ on the obvious manipulation is rewriting history ... lol.
The issue is never the issue, the issue is always the Revolution. And a Revolution is exactly what all liberals want deep down.
NO it’s the other way around….The mediavomits and the elite establishment swamp POS pose a NAZI/COMMUNIST threat ! Unfortunately those evil SOB ‘s are succeeding in destroying America.
Was that before or after they bombed Pearl Harbour?
The woke feeling the sting of truth their words are worthless brake out voodoo dolls.
Ken must have been broke and needed some cash.
Kim Jong Un has said the very same thing...many times.
Burns is a moron.
What? You’ve never heard of SS Gruppenfuehrer Gregor Potemkin?
So Ken supports 12 year old kids being able to mutilate their bodies?
Will Ken come and take their bodies to the morgue after these kids kill theirselves in a year?
So “what makes America great is not the suppression of ideas, or the pursuit of every corner of those ideas may lead us, or the facts.” No, Ken, facts make America crappy. “It’s, it’s about who we are and how we investigate who we are and celebrate the diversity of who we are.”
So if we know who we are, then we shouldn’t have any rotten and provincial ideas about rejecting ideas that conflict with or which aim to and could destroy who we are. We should celebrate eating Tide-pods. We should take drugs. We should allow criminals to roam our streets freely, committing any tort they can think of. We should elevate and celebrate a criminal class not subject to our rules of law.
We should embrace any cockamamie idea, no matter how sordid or odious even if it/they clash with any sense of morality. We should embrace bizarre sex practices and reject the nuclear family in favor of the newness and novelty we seek.
What a flat out tripe-spewing idiot.
His documentaries suck. Biased crap.
