During Monday's edition of Wolf, host Wolf Blitzer interviewed Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN), one of the most left-wing Democrats in Washington who has jumped on the impeachment bandwagon and suggested that Trump-hating FBI Agent Peter Strzok deserves a purple heart.  Blitzer brought up an off-the-record meeting between President Trump and the new publisher of The New York Times, where the publisher warned President Trump that his "attacks" on the media "could lead to violence against members of the media."  Blitzer then asked Cohen "do you believe that people could take President Trump's vitriol as a call to arms?"  Not surprisingly, Rep. Cohen said yes; even going so far as to compare President Trump's supporters to the followers of Jim Jones, the "preacher" who orchestrated a mass suicide by convincing his "flock" to drink poison in "Jonestown," Guyana.
