If you just started caring about political scandals again, you’re a brazen hypocrite
The Blaze ^ | February 15, 2017 | Matt Walsh

The media took an eight year break from covering White House scandals, and now, after these past 96 months of silence, they’ve suddenly got their noses to the ground and are tracking the scent of corruption once again. A full 8 years of inaction and, miraculously, out of nowhere, like Sleeping Beauty kissed by Prince Charming, they’ve opened their eyes and risen from their long slumber.

Most of us would probably lose our jobs if we decided not to do them for 3,000 days in a row, but journalists are a privileged lot. I thought school teachers were lucky because they get to take 3 months off every year, but that’s nothing compared to the media. News reporters are allowed to go into a state of virtual hibernation for as long as there’s a Democrat in the White House. No wonder they work so hard to elect Democrats! You would, too, if it meant a paid vacation for the better part of the next decade.

Look, if Trump is ever guilty of real abuses of power, real corruption, real scandal, I will be the first to call for his head, metaphorically. And I don’t think a Trump scandal is mitigated or made less important or more acceptable by the fact that Obama also had scandals. I’m not going to shout “But Obama!” in order to bail Trump out of whatever trouble he may bring upon himself. Leftists spent eight years shouting “But Bush” for Obama’s sake, and I don’t intend to adopt that strategy. But the fact is that Obama did have scandals — real scandals, terrible scandals, scandalous scandals — and, in the interest of truth, we can’t allow the Left to stand right in front of us and rewrite history on the fly. The truth matters.

TOPICS: Politics; Society
KEYWORDS: hypocrisy
Liberal hypocrites were fine with all of Obama and Clinton's scandals, but are now trying to make the slightest thing in the Trump administration into the scandal that will bring him down.

If it weren't for double standards, liberals would have no standards at all.

You don’t even need to leave the ONE subject of Hillary with her never ending scandals and corruption, let alone Obama and his remaining administration, or the Dem party, or the money machine of Soros... This stuff was ignored and stone walled.

Now, Conway mentions Trump shoes and Oh my lord it’s a national outrage?? Like wtf??

Well, look where they get their world-view:

 

“Are you concerned that Neil Gorsuch belongs to a far-left church?”

A far-left congregation in a denomination having a “divinity school” where:

“Professor Promotes ‘Queer Christ’ Concept To Students”

But there is a wide field beyond Hitlery. The Zero regime was filled with them too.
