'STRAWMAN DOWN'! Brian Stelter's attempted comeback to Greg Gutfeld calling out 'trash' WH media reporting did NOT end well for him

As Twitchy told you Monday, CBS News reporter Weijia Jiang did her best (with help from the rest of the MSM) to turn President Trump’s response to her question into a racist attack.

If you missed it, here’s how it unfolded:

Reporter: Why is this a global competition [on testing] to you if every day Americans are still losing their lives…

Trump: That’s a question you should ask China. Don’t ask me…

R: Sir, why are you saying that to me specifically?

T: I’m not saying it specifically to anybody pic.twitter.com/yL0KHxdoeL

Greg Gutfeld translated the media/Dem attempt to generate a “racism” narrative this way:

An analogy: Bob swears at rude drivers often. Then he swears at a rude driver who's not white. CNN says, Aha: Bob's racist. Their grift: ignore the color-blind behavior & selectively pick an instance that enables a smear. CNN must know they're doing this. Trash.

CNN’s media hall monitor Brian Stelter followed that up like so:

If you can send me several other examples of the president saying the words "ask China," twice, in response to a single question, then your analogy holds up. Until then… it doesn't.

THAT'S your defense? That all Trump's references to China's dealings -from trade to fentanyl to corona – which go back years, publicly – must conform to your desperate specifications? So, it must be "TWICE?" Do you realize how hilarious that is? Go home. Take a bath https://t.co/WeB2danvAt

Yep. CNN is a clown show and they don’t seem to realize it.

STRAWMAN DOWN

Working for CNN must be the most gut wretching experience for any real journalist. I can't even imagine…

The race card. The battle cry of every liberal designed to take focus off of the issue.

Oh, and, also, #ObamaGate.

I wonder what CNN will be offended by tomorrow?

That CNN will get the vapors tomorrow over something Trump-related is as guaranteed as the sun rising in the east.

People keep telling me Brian isn't really this dumb, but I think maybe he really is this dumb. https://t.co/40sISNTg68

If it’s not stupidity, then it’s an act. Neither choice is a good look for a self-described “journalist.”

Also, amid the media’s constant attempts to turn Trump’s battles against reporters into “racism” issues, never forget who fancies himself to be the president’s archnemesis:
