Democrat Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse has defended his membership in an all-white club, calling it a “long tradition” in his state. Naturally it’s been the lead story on so many newscasts. Wait, no it hasn’t:
Has @cnn covered the Sheldon Whitehouse story? How about @msnbc? @ABC? @CBSNews? @NBCNews? @NPR?
Now that’s what I call privilege. @SenWhitehouse Would you care to comment, Senator? pic.twitter.com/h8xxQVqNZ4

Erick Erickson and Guy Benson know what would have the media and congressional Dems in a frenzy:
If Sheldon Whitehouse had an R next to his name, the lead story of every news outlet would be his membership in an all white club.

Other Senators chased down and asked to denounce, high decibel outraged coverage, protesters picketing the club, etc etc

You know that’s what would be happening, but the “D” after Whitehouse’s name provides him with some extra protection.
