Lindsey Graham’s argument stands out because it makes Trump look worse, not better. (via MaddowBlog)
“No, the meeting was bad. He shouldn’t have done it,” Graham said. “But again, you know, there’s a double standard about this kind of stuff. And I don’t think it’ll matter in terms of his political future, but I do believe we need to watch who we meet with. We shouldn’t give oxygen to people who think this way.”
As it turns out, the South Carolinian explained what he meant, telling reporters on Capitol Hill yesterday, “You know, when Democrats hang out with Farrakhan, y’all don’t ask these questions.” In other words, as far as the GOP senator is concerned, Trump did something “bad,” but journalists should be equally vigilant about covering Democratic leaders who engage in similar misbehavior.By any credible measure, there is no prominent analog for Fuentes on the left. We are, after all, talking about a notorious Holocaust denying racist who’s called for the imposition of a dictatorship in the United States.
“[W]hen Democrats hang out with Farrakhan, y’all don’t ask these questions,” he said. This might be a more compelling observation were it not for the inconvenient fact thatGraham’s argument stands out precisely because it makes Trump look worse, not better. If a former Democratic president, and the frontrunner for the party’s presidential nomination in the next election cycle, had dinner with a fringe crackpot, that would be highly controversial.
