Tuesday on CNN’s “New Day,” Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) took on the assertion President Donald Trump had made in a tweet about the media, calling it the “enemy of the American people.”
The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @NBCNews, @ABC, @CBS, @CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 17, 2017
Nadler said the gesture was a “totalitarian tool” and not a “fit thing” for the commander-in-chief.
“To label the press or anybody else enemy of the people is a totalitarian tool of dictators,” he said. “Not a fit thing for the president of the United States.”
