WATCH: CNN Compares Dershowitz To Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, People Who Commit Genocide

CNN contributor and former Clinton administration official Joe Lockhart compared remarks that Trump lawyer Alan Dershowitz made in defense of President Donald Trump on Wednesday to something that would be said by dictators Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin.

CNN played a short clip of Dershowitz’s remarks from the Senate floor on Wednesday: “Every public official that I know believes that his election is in the public interest and mostly you’re right. Your election is in the public interest and if a president does something that he believes will help him get elected, in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment.”
