Kimmel, CNN, and Colbert make 'Whataboutism' great again to protect Harvey Weinstein
Wasn’t it just a few weeks ago that the MSM was lecturing those of us on the political right about the intellectual dishonesty of “Whataboutism?”
Why, yes — yes it was. In fact, here is the leftwing Washington Post declaring “Whataboutism” a “cheap rhetorical trick.”

Apparently, though, it is only a cheap rhetorical trick when the MSM’s mortal enemies on the right utilize it.
But now, in order to mitigate the fallout for Democrats over the nuclear Harvey Weinstein scandal, CNN and the Boy Kings of Late Night are Making Whataboutism Great Again.
Basically, Whataboutism works like this: “How can the MSM whine about President Trump pardoning Sheriff Joe Arpaio after the MSM gave Presidents Obama and Clinton total passes on their pardons of donor-fugitives, terrorists, and traitors?”
Personally, I think that is a good point.
I happen to be a big fan of Whataboutism.
The MSM, though, hates anything that exposes its shameless and unrelenting bias and hypocrisy, and it especially hates anything that blunts their unceasing attempts to destroy Trump.
Therefore, naturally, the MSM portrays Whatboutism as a very, very bad thing.
At least until now…
With the Harvey Weinstein scandal about to bury the DEMOCRAT Party in it's own double standards, with the Harvey Weinstein scandal about to embarrass and expose Harvey’s pals, Hillary and Barack, with the Harvey Weinstein scandal about to ensure the War On Women narrative can never again be used against Trump or the Republicans, Whataboutism is back in style.
CNN’s leftwing media pundit Brain Stelter’s first instinct was to go the full-Whataboutism in order to protect Harvey and his DEMOCRAT pals.
His comparison, of course, is absurd. No one is okay with what Trump said on that bus.
Even Trump has said his behavior with Billy Bush is inexcusable locker room talk (and it is), but that is all it is — TALK.
As far as the allegations of sexual harassment against Trump, for 35 years as a public figure we heard nothing about this. Then he runs for president (as a Republican, of course) and all these women come forward. And now they have disappeared again.
The rumors about Weinstein’s alleged misconduct are decades old, the New York Times reports that he has reached financial settlements with eight accusers, and more accusers are coming out every day.
Comparing Trump to Weinstein is like comparing a cricket to a chainsaw.

Bahahahaha! I guess his first wife doesn't count?
The one who denied that he assaulted her?
That one?
Donald Trump's ex-wife is disputing a story published by The Daily Beast that reported that she had accused Trump of rape.

She made the accusation of rape. You can dispute whether the accusation or the withdrawal is the truthful account. But, you are putting the character of Person X (Ivana in this case) against that of Douchebag Donald. Person X is usually the better character in these comparisons.

You're a gutless little punk trapped in a loveless marriage and a low-paying job.
Why should anyone accept your unsupported assertions, poor little Plebeian history major?
“I have recently read some comments attributed to me from nearly 30 years ago at a time of very high tension during my divorce from Donald. The story is totally without merit,” Ivana said in a statement to CNN. “Donald and I are the best of friends and together have raised three children that we love and are very proud of. I have nothing but fondness for Donald and wish him the best of luck on his campaign. Incidentally, I think he would make an incredible president.”

Got any backup for that?
I applaud any vet who put themselves in harm's way for our country. You guys always claim to be pro-military, but it has always been amazing to me how quick you are to discredit someone's service when they're either a Dem (Kerry), or against 'your guy' (McCain)...
