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

Greg Gutfeld’s response:

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

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
