they also take a huge hit when in 1956, khrushchev comes to power in the soviet union and reveals that all of the rumors about stalin's behavior are totally true. he was eamonsta monster who mur millions and conducted trials of those that he thought might be his political enemies. that has a huge effect in turning people away from the communist party. hoover's obsession with the party keeps this going long past the point where it is relevant. there is substantial dissent in the ranks because hoover will not let this go even though the party is well past the point where it poses any sort of remotely conceivable threat to the united states. tactics for attacking cpusa include leaking smear attacks to the media, planting evidence to suggest that party leaders are informants, plant evidence and hope that someone else comes along and sees it and believes that their co-leader is an fbi incompetent fo informant, creating a fake organization to attack from the left. they create fake organizations to foster dissent. my personal favorite of these, operation hoodwink. have false documents to prov

khrushchev who followed stalin saying that was too loaded.hink we should be using the phrase that's been rejected as too loaded by a soviet dictator. >> jeremy, what does it say about where we are politically when a sitting republican senator compares a sitting republican president to joseph stalin? >> i think it shows the crisis within the republican party right now over this president, craig. and right now if jeff flake remains only one of a small minority of republicans who's willing to speak out against the president, i think you can really make an argument that trump has taken over the republican party. there are many republicans who are, of course, concerned about that and have been concerned for two years now that they believe he's not really a conservative, that he doesn't represent what republicans have historically stood for. the problem is, though, those people are in the minority. they don't -- and until you see the republican party breaking from trump in a big way, which is kind of hard to imagine right now that would take scores

enemy of the people, should be noted that khrushchev which followed stalin, forbad its use, saying it too loaded, maligned a whole group or class of people, should not be done. we should not use the phrase that has been rejected as too loaded by soviet dictator. connell: all right that of the then senator jeff flake, seems to be walking back some language now comparing president trump is joseph stalin. listen to this updated version. >> i am in no way comparing president trump to joseph stalin. stalin was a killer. our president is not. but it just puzzles me as to why you use phrase that is so loaded. it has steeper meaning that present me of the people -- that the press being the enemy of the people. connell: take it up with our political panel ford o'connel and christie. what do you make of this jeff flake, to remind people is a republican senator. outgoing, but his line of attack, he is backing off. >> he is with this comparison, stalin, used that media to control the people, he was a newspaper man long before he was a brutal dictator, president trump's wrath is directed in mislea

it should be noted that khrushchev who followed stalin forbade its use saying that was too loaded thatass of people and it shouldn't be done. i don't think that we should be using the phrase that's been rejected as too loaded by soviet dictator. steve: and that is a republican senator talking about a republican president. let's bring in dan bongino, former new york city plymouth officer secret service guy and host of the dan bongino show. he joins us from down in florida where it's much warmer than it is here. it feels like 9 degrees. brian: your head is ready to explode on this. >> really, i can't take this guy anymore. i mean, if he spent half as much time going after far left democrats trying to ruin the country as he does going after a president who has an extremely successful first year based on conservative measures, by any conservative metric, you know, we would be in a far letter place. what does he do? he has an approval rating of negative 672 in his own state. he can't even run in his own state. so he is auditioning for a spot on a cable news channel that's not here by the wa

it should be noted that nikita khrushchev, who folloge stalin, forbade its use saying that was too loadede. i don't think that we should be using a phrase that's been rejected as too loaded by a soviet dictator. stuart: well, kelly ward, who is running for jeff flake's seat, she's released a campaign ad on the subject. roll tape. >> the number continues to rise. heinous crimes committed by illegals who were protected by obama's daca program. rape, murder, two young girls killed in a deadly hit and run. this is why president trump has demanded congressional action. so how are some arizona leaders planning to protect us? by rewarding illegal behavior. martha mcsally and jeff flake both supported obama's illegal daca program. both are ready to grant amnesty to nearly 800,000 illegals. stuart: all right. senate candidate for arizona kelly ward joins us now. are you fully onboard with the line on all the issues? >> well, you know, i am onboard for the america first agenda which is stopping illegal immigration, building the wall, securing our border, getting rid of obamacare, lowering taxes, ma

. >> he was popularized by joseph stalin now enemy of the people and it should be noted that khrushchevaying now was too loaded and aligns the whole group or class of people and not shouldn't be done. i don't think we should be using the phrase that's been dead as too loaded by soviet dictator. stuart: the republican senator calling out a republican president sounds like joe stalin. what do you make of that? >> the one difference would be stalin killed millions of countrymen. this rhetoric is completely uncalled for and especially in the context of trump's use of language, which often you would say you should say you should've express something differently, but it's very clear the greater threat to the first amendment right now is in the opposition to the president. he says a lot of tough words for the media, but unlike his predecessor, and he is not sought as far as we know wants to eavesdrop on journalists unlike his opponent in the last election, president trump is not thought to reread the first amendment to prevent movies from being distributed. in terms of actions, and he is the f
