It's (D)ifferent When They (D)o It: Margaret Brennan Challenges Hakeem Jeffries on 'Rigged Elections'

You may want to sit down for this one, Twitchy readers, because something unprecedented happened in American legacy media yesterday.

Margaret Brennan of CBS News actually challenged a Democrat.

We know, right?

Amazing. The ink on Bari Weiss's contract isn't even dry yet, and apparatchiks like Brennan might be thinking they need to pretend to be journalists a little better or else they might end up like John Harwood -- unemployed, unhinged, and screaming into the void on X every day.

Here was Brennan yesterday on Face the Nation, grilling Hakeem Jeffries about his hypocrisy regarding election denialism and gerrymandering. Watch:

Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is defending his use of the term “rigged elections” in reference to the upcoming midterm elections, accusing President Trump and Republicans of gerrymandering congressional maps to try to “deny the ability” of voters to decide the House majority.… pic.twitter.com/yGdDlJ8ekj

Ahh, we get it now. When Trump says rigged elections, it's bad. When Democrats say it, it's defending our democracy ... or something.

And when Republicans want to redistrict, that's 'rigging an election,' but when Democrats do the same thing, it's all about creating 'fair maps.'

It's funny that Jeffries still thinks he gets to play by these rules when even a partisan hack like Brennan is calling him on it.

I mean, the stones it takes to get on TV and straight-faced say the things he did.

Take one look at Illinois map and talk to me about gerrymandering — this is the reason so many hate ALL politicians. Just ridiculous he would think anyone buys this. https://t.co/nWC0NoveG4

Oh, but there ARE people who buy what he is selling.

Insane people.

The only thing funnier than Jeffries' doublespeak with Brennan was the reaction from leftists on X that she would even DARE to ask him challenging questions.

Scary.

After Bari Weiss’s takeover of CBS, Margaret Brennan sounds like a Newsmax host in this interview with Hakeem Jeffries. pic.twitter.com/C4gnUkgzOV

LOL. 'Scary.'

Yes, the left is terrified that they might actually have to answer for their words and policies on a public news network.

🚨INFURIATING: CBS's Margaret Brennan just grilled Hakeem Jeffries with BOTH SIDES B******T after Democrats consider gerrymandering AFTER Republicans did it.

This is why legacy media isn’t meeting the moment - and why accounts like ours are trying to.

It's not just scary; it's INFURIATING!

IN ALL CAPS!

Is this Margaret Brennan asking, or is it Bari Weiss? https://t.co/unCnoIjlIi

They HATE Weiss because she is coming into CBS demanding that journalists be journalists, and not simply stenographers for the Democrat Party.

They hate her so much, in fact, that the left has created a new logo for CBS News.

.@margbrennan is just one of many reasons why I watch NO programming from .@CBSNews. pic.twitter.com/d2im3acDQr

HAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA.

Yes, that's right. Bari Weiss, who is the most vocal and prominent Jewish person working in media this side of Ben Shapiro, is turning CBS into the Nazi News Network.

This is who controls the Democratic Party these days. And it's why, while they may succeed in places like New York City, they are finished as a national party.

As for Hakeem Jeffries, if he still wants to gaslight America and not get challenged on it by anyone, there's always MSNBC.

Or is it MS NOW?

Whatever they are going to call it for the limited time they have left before their studios turn into a Spirit of Halloween store.
