The Media Research Center shows they’re all about protecting President Trump and not so much about “media research” in an Aug. 22 post by Nicholas Fondacaro, who’s trying way too hard.
Fondacaro is very concerned that an Instagram post by Louise Linton, wife of Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, bragging about her designer duds while traveling on a government plane would be used to make Trump look bad. Fondacaro complained that CNN’s Jake Tapper “tried to link someone else’s Instagram controversy to the President” and was claiming that Linton’s comments were “somehow Trump’s responsibility because of his 2016 campaign messaging.Finally, Fondacaro huffed:
It’s one thing to discuss Linton’s Instagram post and her relation to the Treasury Secretary. But it’s another to try and rope the President into it. Trump appointed her husband, not her, to a position in the government. So her actions bear little or no weight on Trump’s shoulders.
We suspect Fondacaro would not be so eager to distance Linton from Trump if the president was a Democrat.
