Fact Check: CNN’s Van Jones Claims Only Republicans Called Trump Hitler, Nazi, Fascist
CLAIM: CNN commentator Van Jones claimed on Election Night that only Republicans called President-elect Donald Trump a Hitler, a Nazi, or a fascist.
VERDICT: False.
“The thing I think that’s most important to remember is … The people who said [Trump] was a Hitler lover, weren’t Democrats,” said Jones. “They were Republicans. People who said that he was a fascist weren’t Democrats. They were Republicans who worked for him. It’s not just that there’s these elite Democrats over here, poisoning the well. You had a pretty broad consensus from Chomsky to the Cheneys that were very concerned and remain concerned.”
