President Trump’s CPAC speech was a partisan roller coaster inconsistent with Trump’s State of the Union call for a more civil national discourse. But Trump’s CPAC pledge to preserve American “heritage” was not Nazi in nature. To say otherwise is silly and in fact only serves Russian President Vladimir Putin’s interest in dividing America.

I note this in light of CNN analyst Samantha Vinograd’s discussion with host Ana Cabrera on Saturday, in which Vinograd suggested Trump’s speech played to Nazi themes. Saying the word “heritage” implicitly “taps into historically darker times,” Cabrera asked Vinograd for her thoughts. And wow, did Vinograd have some.
