This sh*t is BANANAS! CNN's Oliver Darcy picked the WRONG way to excuse MSM's Melania obsession

CNN’s Oliver Darcy is sick and tired of conservatives complaining about liberals’ and the media’s weird, conspiratorial obsession with Melania Trump’s health following her recent surgery:

I'm sorry, but those who obsessed over Hillary Clinton's health should probably spare everyone the lectures about the Melania Trump health coverage.

You’re right to be sorry, Oliver, but you should be apologizing for thinking that tweet was worth sending.

Embarrassingly bad comparison. Do better.

This is par for the course with CNN, but still. Come on.

"I'm sorry, but it's okay when we spread conspiracies" – said the media reporter. https://t.co/18XPt2f7IF

The corollary: if you lectured reporters who asked questions about a historically medically-challenged candidate's physical fitness, then you should expect criticism when you apply a higher standard of scrutiny (with less evidence) to her opponent and his wife. https://t.co/DjVwcrbJsL

Melania has run for no office. And this “health coverage” involved heavily suggesting that Melania was the victim of domestic abuse by her husband. I’m sorry, but you don’t have the high ground on this one.

Hillary was running for one of the top constitutional offices in the land, one invested with great power and responsibilities. Concern about her health was legitimate and warranted. Melania Trump is unelected and holds no office. Apples, oranges. https://t.co/YkbLVXhK4v

That's not even an apples/oranges comparison. It's apples/rocks. https://t.co/4AjtgnZFYU

One was a Presidential candidate who almost did a facedive, the other didn't appear in public after her office told everyone she was having surgery. Totally the same thing, Oliver.

She had nonstop coughing fits at rallies and was filmed being thrown into a van after falling ill during a 9/11 memorial. Oh, and she was running for President. Melania is the First Lady.
