Trump okays use of teargas on 'migrants'= outrage. Obama did it hundreds of times = not a word
"OMG, did you hear?!! That awful, horrid Orange Man ordered his ICE Nazi's to fire TEARGAS at those lovable people from Central America who want to enter the U.S.! It's unprecedented how awful and horrid this president is! Trump is worse than the Nazis!"
You couldn't miss hearing about this, cuz every single mainstream media outlet reported it, complete with the same pic of a woman dragging two young kids away from some sort of smoke that was surely--surely--teargas.
"See, citizen? Trump is worse than the Nazis!"
What's fascinating is that CNN and MSNBC and the alphabets and the NYT and WaPo never reported the hundreds of times Obama's people did exactly the same thing.
That's right, folks: under Obama, Border Patrol agents did exactly same thing--hundreds of times. And you never heard a word about it. The Dem-loving media didn't want you to know about it.
According to DHS records the Obama administration used pepper spray on groups at the Mexican border 95 times in 2012, 151 times in 2013, 109 times in 2014, 30 times in 2015 and 56 times in 2016. Teargas was used on the border 26 times in 2012, 27 times in 2013, 15 times in 2014, eight times in 2015, and three times in 2016.
CNN and MSNBC never mentioned it. Not once. ABC reported it exactly once. The Associated Press mentioned it a few times. but the only large paper that picked up the wire-service story was in San Diego. Other than that, coverage was limited to local newspapers and a television station in San Diego.
Almost no photographic evidence exists from the use of teargas or pepper spray by the Obama administration--because no reporter or photographer thought anything of it. Apparently there's some strange, flexible device called a "double-standard," under which the mainstream media considers the same act to be either perfectly reasonable or outrageous, depending on whether it was done under Obama or Trump.
The clearest demonstration of this was provided by the partisan hacks on ABC’s “The View:” co-host Sunny Hostin said “President Obama is no longer in office. President Trump is in office and he’s destroying the country, This ‘but Obama’ defense doesn’t work for me… I don't care what Obama did. I care what Trump is doing right here right now.”
You couldn't find a better example of the double-standard used by liberals. "I don't care what Obama did." Thanks, ABC.
