GOP Rep. To Media: Your Coverage Forced Trump To Attack Attorney General (VIDEO)

Source: Talking Points Memo

By MATT SHUHAM Published JULY 27, 2017 12:31 PM

Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA) blamed the media on Thursday for forcing, in a “bank-shot” fashion, President Donald Trump’s relentless attacks on his own attorney general.

Brat said the media had fueled the attacks — everything short of typing Trump’s tweets for him.

In a statement Wednesday on the matter, Brat said Trump’s anger at Sessions — whose recusal from campaign- and Russian meddling-related matters paved the way for the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller — was partially the media’s fault.

“One thing is for sure: when AG Sessions erred on the side of caution by recusing himself, he never could have foreseen the 24/7 full-throated obsession over Russia by the mainstream media,” he wrote. “The media’s attacks have only escalated since Trump’s inauguration. Fake news dominates.”

Maybe Blinky the clown should re-read the first amendment again, just so that he can round out his education degree
