Ari Fleischer NAILS why the MSM has ZERO credibility in attacking Trump over refugee order

Former George W. Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer posted a simple reminder of how then President Obama made a very similar move with refugees from Iraq in 2011.

This happened in 2011. https://t.co/LJLdTJE9fe

In an attempt at a clever response, POLITICO’s Blake Hounshell tried to corner Fleischer.

So… what are we arguing here? Obama did it too, so this is good policy … or bad policy? https://t.co/28mNPb8C2w

But Fleischer was making a much larger point.

I've always said it was bad policy, from the first time he said it.

I think it's also worth pointing out if MSM had pounded Pres O for his actions, you'd have more credibility now vs Trump

Exactly right. The media enjoyed a golden opportunity to raise a stink about this EXACT issue when Barack Obama was president. They remained silent. They didn’t rock the boat. They didn’t even care. Now they are left with no credibility.
