Let me see if I get this right. Not only does Hillary Clinton call Trump supporters or basically anyone who wouldn’t vote for her a basket of deplorables (at least twice), but now she’s blaming her own media for it offending people? Umm. The backlash from Hillary Clinton’s basket of deplorables crack last night at the fundraiser of people who wouldn’t vote for her actually should have started a day earlier. On Thursday, Hillary Clinton went on Israeli TV and made the same basket of deplorables crack for anyone who doesn’t support her. Yet, not a bit of coverage by Hillary Clinton’s corrupt media, who she is now blaming.

The memo goes on to say “IF PUSHED,” surrogates should raise concerns about media fairness.
“I think we can all agree that if Donald Trump said something controversial about Clinton supporters, it wouldn’t have been in his top ten list of offensive statements in day,” the advice reads. “It’s well past time the press stopped grading Trump on a curve. So is the press going to cover this story in the right [context], or are they going to hold Hillary to a different standard again? Are they going to make more out of this story than they made out of the racist, misogynistic Trump comments that got us here in the first place?”
The guidance also includes suggested comments — “only if asked” — on what to say about Clinton and her running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine, being “on different pages” about whether Clinton should have apologized for the episode.
For a perfect example of the Hillary Media Complex, the Washington Post which released this story about the memo to blame the media says it found no need for Hillary Clinton to apologize. BTW WashPoo, she didn’t apologize, she doubled down if you know how to read.
This is identical to the Mitt Romney 47% moment at a fundraiser in 2012. The media had a cow, forced Romney to apologize and it basically went on to ruin the rest of his campaign. Leftists love Hillary Clinton’s nasty crack, showing what hypocrites they really are.
