‘If they’re not motivated to vote for … the woman who’s running with the impeccable and vast record of experience … at least stopping us from being Nazi Germany would hopefully get Democrats and others to turn out’

CNN's Kohn: Hillary 'Impeccable,' and Dems Will Vote to 'Stop Us from Being Nazi Germany' (NewsBusters)

Appearing as a guest on Wednesday's New Day on CNN to discuss the presidential race, liberal CNN political commentator and Daily Beast columnist Sally Kohn suggested that Democratic voter turnout will likely be up in November with "stopping us from being Nazi Germany" as a motivator against Donald Trump, inspiring no pushback from co-host Alisyn Camerota over the hyperbole.

After Camerota brought up numbers indicating Republican turnout has been up substantially beyond Democratic turnout levels in the primaries, Kohn recalled that Democrats she knows have so far believed Trump would not be able to win:

The other side of this equation is, you know, I keep talking to Democrat after Democrat who say, "Well, Trump isn't going to win, Trump isn't going to win, he can't win." Well, he looks like he's going to win. And, to be honest, that's the biggest motivator, is people have to actually feel something is at stake.
