Greg Gutfeld -- and others! -- RIP MSNBC guest for Kristallnacht hot take on Helsinki summit with Putin

Greg P. | 1:57 PM on July 17, 2018

Take a bow, MSNBC, because this has to be the hottest of the hot takes we’ve seen yet on the Helsinki summit:

“His performance today will live in infamy as much as the Pearl Harbor attack or Kristallnacht.”

Greg Gutfeld’s response:

incredible that actual adults exist who think like this https://t.co/5cr2v5o2JJ

Well, at least for MSNBC guests they don’t:

And it’s saying something why Greg Gutfeld and Glenn Greenwald are nuking the same exact thing:

Does the @ADL_National – whose ostensible mission includes preventing trivialization of the Holocaust – find it acceptable to suggest that history will view yesterday's Helsinki press conference in the same category as **Kristallnacht**? https://t.co/DUEIvd6LZr

As is Axios’ Jonathan Swan:

Now, for comparison purposes:

During Kristallnacht, the Nazis destroyed 200+ synagogues, killed at least one hundred Jews and rounded up another 30,000 for concentration camps, and damaged or destroyed roughly 7,000 Jewish businesses.

Sure, that press conference was awful, but is this guy out of his mind? https://t.co/Q83fgtFupI
