So Judge Napolitano has been ripping Trump for the past two years, and is NOW complaining that Trump isn't treating him well as a "friend"?!?

Note: he did not deny he asked for the position or the pardon.

THE PRESS HAS LEARNED NOTHING

The White House Correspondents’ Association held its annual dinner Saturday night. Who knew? With President Trump and all senior members of his administration staying away, the event passed unnoticed. But Emily Zanotti has an account:

President Donald Trump announced several weeks ago that he would not appear at the annual event…for the third year in a row. For the first time, however, the president said all senior members of the White House staff will “boycott” the event.
***
That decision came after [Sarah] Huckabee Sanders endured cruel taunts at the hands of last year’s featured speaker, comedian Michelle Wolf. Fearing no Trump administration associate could show up at the WHCA dinner without being personally attacked, despite a longstanding tradition of good-natured ribbing between the press and the president through dueling speeches, the White House simply stopped RSVPing to the event.

Good for them. In response, the Correspondents’ Association dispensed with the usual “comedian.”

The White House Correspondents’ Association responded by making swift changes to the event’s lineup, substituting historian Ron Chernow for the expected comedy act, but it did not tempt the White House back to the dinner.

Interesting that with the White House not in attendance, the Association saw no point in hiring a comedian. Instead, the event turned gloomy.

President of the White House Correspondents’ Association, Olivier Knox, first delivered what Grabien News termed a “dark sermon” on the state of the First Amendment and the all-encompassing fear journalists who cover the president are now feeling.

Fear? Oh, please. Reporters and editors pretend to believe that the First Amendment is somehow in danger from the Trump administration, but they know better. Their real complaint is that the president has used his own right of free speech to expose their mendacity.

https://news.yahoo.com/new-york-times-editorial-board-blasts-new-york-times-for-publishing-antisemitic-cartoon-141701465.html

 

So the NY Times Editorial Board makes a halfassed apology for the horribly anti-Semitic cartoon they published, but then go on to blame Trump for violence against Jews, before falsely claiming he does not condemn White Nationalists.

 

Quote

“As anti-Semitism has surged from the internet into the streets, President Trump has done too little to rouse the national conscience against it,” the editorial board wrote. “Though he condemned the cartoon in The Times, he has failed to speak out against anti-Semitic groups like the white nationalists who marched in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017 chanting, ‘Jews will not replace us.’ He has practiced a politics of intolerance for diversity, and attacks on some minority groups threaten the safety of every minority group.”

 

***** disingenuous jackals.

I'm surprised they waited until after the hearing to publish.

 

I mean...they break the Mueller letter last night, double-down on it this morning...you know they were doubling down again on the letter with this.  I wouldn't doubt they had this written before the hearings were over, if even that late.

In fairness, Brian Williams was in THE ROOM where this all went down & we should all be appreciative that he's as honorable a soldier as he is.

 

'Course, he MIGHT have watched a SMIDGE too much of "You are There" as a kid.

Need a network to put the gif of Trump saying “wrong” hundreds of times when the Dems speak in public

Can't, he doesn't have sufficient street cred as a self-hating white guy.
