Harvard Law professor emeritus Laurence Tribe claimed Tuesday on CNN’s “The Situation Room” that President Donald Trump’s actions against Harvard University are out of the “dictator’s handbook,” liking them to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.
Host Wolf Blitzer said, “Harvard University is filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration, accusing the White House of violating the First Amendment and freezing federal funding to the school.”
He asked, “Help us better understand the claim that Harvard is making.”
Tribe said, “Well, the basic claim is one that really connects what’s going on here to what’s gone on throughout history when autocrats and tyrants and basically mafia-like leaders decide that they really don’t want universities to be independent. Nice little university you have there, be a shame if something happened to it. That’s what Hitler basically said, although it sounds different in the original German when he said it to the university at Frankfurt and then took them over.”

They’ve claimed Trump is Hitler so many times that it’s lost all meaning. I really believe most Americans are tired and unmoved by it.
Tribe is SO late to the game.
So now, the Hitherite “freak fakestine” rioters are not?
I thought Tribe was a trigger word these days. Mr. Lawrence should change his last name to Ethnicity, or perhaps a hyphenated name like Indigenous-Group.
hilter loved indoctrination
so does the left
Laurence Tribe has dementia and should shut up.
Why does nobody ever say ‘Pol Pot basically’ or ‘Mao basically’ or ‘Stalin basically’ or ‘in a fashion reminiscent of jenjis khan (sic) basically?’
Trump is sending a message to ALL US universities about Fed.gov money no longer funding wokeism.
He chose Harvard to be the example for this message because of their status reputation.
Harvard should feel fortunate Trump is recognizing their status by him choosing them as a target.
After all, he didn’t choose Walla Walla University to send this message, did he?
larry tribe will be 84 this year. He’s a senile clown.
Government aid has had strings attached forever. They just don’t like Trump’s strings.
One of the reasons private corporations have refused gov. funds is for this very reason.
They are improving.
He used to be “Actually” not “Basicly” Hitler.

Unfortunately, not quite. Those vile remarks could certainly push an unstable individual right over the edge. Such a person could go from “I don’t like Trump” to something much worse.
As a side note, I sure miss the days when Democrats were reasonable political adversaries. I suppose Jimmy Carter was the last of that breed.
The German faculty and students mostly hated Weimar and welcomed the Nazis.
And it was Laurence Tribe that went FULL GESTAPO against Reagan
All the Democrats seem to operate off a script. As Gutfeld says, someone sends out the equivalent of a bat signal with a script, and all the Democrats say the same thing right on que.
Mr. Godwin, please pick up the Red courtesy phone. Mike Godwin, Red courtesy phone.
No. Tribe is a communist. Lucky for us he never became a SCOTUS judge.
I think there is an actual book called “Whoever I don’t like is Hitler!”. I’m assuming it’s a satire
