As Twitchy told you yesterday, CNN’s Brooke Baldwin defended her pearl-clutching over the use of the word “mobs” to describe the insanity we’ve seen in recent weeks.

Sen. Orrin Hatch pointed out that what Baldwin refers to as Republican talking points are anything but:

This week:

☑️ A GOP campaign staffer was assaulted in Nevada
☑️ 2 GOP candidates were assaulted in Minnesota after a Dem Spokesman joked about beheading them
☑️ Susan Collins received suspicious substance letter about Kavanaugh

And it’s only Wednesday.https://t.co/JiYb8Os8FG

To see some in the media respond to that by slamming a word used to describe the unhinged protesters is PEAK 2018 “journalism.”
