When Donald Trump referred to the illegal immigrant accused of killing 22-year-old Laken Riley on the University of Georgia campus as an “animal,” the liberal media went aflame with outrage.Thus on MSNBC, Joy Reid condemned Trump’s “dehumanizing and degrading” language [see clip at 2:00.]So, surely, no one on MSNBC would ever use the a‑for-animal word in describing Donald Trump!Oh, wait. On today’s Morning Joe, Mara Gay, an MSNBC analyst and member of the editorial board of the New York Times, said of Trump:
“He’s like a caged animal. And that’s a dangerous situation. He’s feeling very threatened. He’s out of control. And so we do expect him to lash out.”
Oh no! Not just an animal, but an out-of-control animal! Creating a “dangerous situation” in which “we expect him to lash out.“Yet for some reason, no one on the panel castigated Gay for her use of such “degrading and dehumanizing” language. Huh!Remind me to tune into Joy Reid’s show later. Surely she will apply the same standard to Trump critics as she did to Trump himself! Or not.
