The Media Research Center is little more than the Donald Trump Defense Center these days. Tim Graham exemplifies this in an Aug. 12 post.
Trying to deflect from Trump’s non-specific criticism of neo-Nazi-linked death and violence during a protest in Charlottesville, Va., Graham bashed a CNN anchor who claimed that “people are emboldened right now to have a rally like this,” huffing: “CNN would not suggest after a Muslim act of domestic terrorism that Obama ’emboldened’ the violent act.”
Of course, Graham is all too eager to suggest exactly that. Strangely, he offers no evidence Obama has ever done so. By contrast, there are numerous examples of Trump explicitly encouraging violence.
And that’s how the MRC’s Clinton Exception is slowly becoming the Obama Exception.
