Politico is definitely part of the liberal media, but they at least pretend they’re doing some serious reporting and aren’t nearly as whacko leftist as say The Huffington Post or Salon. Then again maybe they are. Politico’s editor-in-chief just called President Trump a white supremacist or a white nationalist. I’m not sure what the difference is, but the bottom line is the head honcho at Politico is calling the President of the United States a racist like some butt-hurt liberal hack at a low-rent liberal blog. Journalism, yo.
This starts out with a piece from another sorry liberal blog known as NBC about the leader of a white nationalist group called Identity Evropa. Apparently this guy is planning on taking over the GOP, but it’s unclear how he intends on doing that.
Political commentator Larry Sabato tweeted out a link to this NBC article…
White nationalist leader wants to ‘take over the GOP’ https://t.co/QQTtS0QfdD via @nbcnews

…Which made Politico’s EIC John F. Harris respond like this:
Thought that job had been filled….. https://t.co/35GUSXGhWU

How clever. He’s saying that white nationalists don’t have to attempt a GOP takeover because the party is already led by racists. I get that there is a significant faction of Never-Trumpers in the GOP but as the President of the United States, Donald Trump is the undisputed leader of the Republican Party. Therefore, Harris is saying that President Trump is some kind of racist Nazi.
This is the hysterifying effects of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Disappointment over the 2016 election has taken semi-serious journalists and turned them it crying loons like Rosie O’Donnell and Kathy Griffin. I can’t wait to see what happens when Trump wins reelection in 2020 by a landslide. I think it just might be a bunch of liberal heads exploding, so wear your safety goggles and ponchos.
See, the liberal media took a vacation during the 8 years when Obama was in office, writing nothing but fluff pieces and they completely forgot how that journalism thing works. They weren’t worried because they were sure Hillary Clinton was going to win in 2016 and nobody would notice they no longer knew how to investigate or report. Then, when Trump shocked the liberal world and won, the leftist news industry was caught scrambling and they only thing they could come up with was fake news and partisan hackery.
What makes this story truly hilarious is that Harris was called out for this and tried to blame it on everyone else for not getting his sense of humor:
A fair point @ArthurSchwartz , this could be interpreted as broad swipe rather than a quip about the headline on the NBC piece. Sometimes wisecracks get lost in Twitter translation so appreciate the chance to clarify. pic.twitter.com/wpsXiHUoPq

You see, somehow Twitter magically transformed his “wisecrack” into an baseless attack on the President. If that’s the case, why didn’t Harris delete his tweet? That’s a rhetorical question because Harris meant his tweet exactly the way everyone is taking it. In addition to being a liberal crybaby he’s also a lying sack of crap.
