Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN), in a Monday appearance on CNN, compared supporters of President Trump to the cultists at the Jonestown massacre, an event in which one of his Democratic colleagues almost died.

CNN’s Wolf Blitzer asked Cohen about Trump’s “attacks” on the American press, citing Trump’s description of the media as “the enemy of the American people.”

“Do you believe that people could take the president’s vitriol as a call to arms?” Blitzer asked.

“I definitely think they could,” Cohen answered. “I’ve seen a lot of his supporters. They listen and believe everything that they put out.”
