[See NewsBusters for more.] On Monday, MSNBC anchor Brian Williams allowed MSNBC guest Richard Painter to slime Trump as something close to a Nazi leader: “The signs of authoritarianism are staring us in the face. If we don't acknowledge that this is a risky situation, and we continue to put up with this, what we could finds that if we are in a war or if the president wants to get us into a war, in order to solidify his control, that he could very, very quickly try to make himself into an authoritarian president or dictator.”
