NBC: Flake to denounce Trump media attacks as Stalinist in Senate speech
WASHINGTON — Sen. Jeff Flake is planning to slam President Donald Trump's attacks on the press on the Senate floor this week in a speech that will compare the president's use of the term "enemy of the people" to describe the media to Soviet dictator Josef Stalin.
"When a figure in power reflexively calls any press that doesn't suit him ‘fake news,’ it is that person who should be the figure of suspicion, not the press," Flake, R-Ariz., will say, according to excerpts of the speech provided to NBC News.
Trump called the media the "enemy of the people" in a February tweet. "The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @NBCNews, @ABC, @CBS, @CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!" the president wrote on Twitter.

Update: Flake to evoke Stalin in Senate speech slamming Trump’s attacks on media: report (The Hill)
WNU Editor: Both Lenin and Stalin used the term "enemy of the people" on numerous occasions. But as far as I can remember, Stalin never used the term "enemy of the people" to describe the media .... after-all why should he .... he controlled the media. As to Senator Flake's wanting to compare President Trump to Stalin .... sighhhh .... Stalin was someone who ordered mass purges, famines that killed millions, and the establishment of a Gulag system that consumed and killed millions of the best in the former Soviet Union. To compare anyone to that monster is .... to put it bluntly .... disrespectful to those who suffered under Stalin's rule. Shame on Sen Jeff Flake wanting to use that comparison, and shame on the media that is going to publicize it without criticism when he makes it.

When all is said and done, Trump is Trump, and there is no one you can really compare him to aside from Charles Barkley maybe...

Snowflake, crybaby, & RINO Jeff Flake is gone. He just doesn't know it yet.
He will be primaried, He will be measured, and he will be found wanting.

If the men are p_ssai's, we'll vote for the women.
Senator Flake announced he was not running for re-election.
So he thinks he does not have to worry. He does not have to raise campaign money.
So he thinks he can burn all the bridges and flame everyone.
He is 55. Where will he work?
Will Jeb quit and give him his party hack / private sector job?
Nobody could be as brutal as stalin.
Trump ix no stalin by a very long shot.
Didn't Stalin kill like 20 million people? (That's like 3x what Hitler did)..how can anyone honestly call Trump that? He's an old man who may have slight racist tendencies. ..but there's checks and balances to keep him from doing too much damage. Just ignore the profanity coming out of his mouth and have a good choice to vote for in the next elections. Stop complaining like girls all the frraking time..such pussies and snowflakes in the US these days. ..unbelievable. MLK would just battle this guy instead of calling everyone a racist, stalinist or whatever else comes to mind. What's wrong with these people?
Flake's claim is particularly off the wall when you consider that it was Obama who expanded the mass surveillance system to Stasi-like proportions.
