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.

LOL! “Journalism” y’all!
Gutfeld responded…
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?
— Adrian Anthony (@adrian_anthony1) May 12, 2020
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:
