Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) has claimed that the corporate media is failing to “challenge” President Donald Trump, arguing that news outlets should “resist him.”
Waters made the claims during Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Story Is.”
The congresswoman argues that when Trump “calls everybody names,” the “media does not challenge him, does not resist him.”
Host Elex Michaelson asked:
“So that comment got a lot of attention, ‘low down, dirty, no good, filthy President’.
“Critics say that that’s unhelpful, makes the situation in the country worse, deepens the divide.
“What do you say?”
Waters responded:
“I don’t care what they say.
“Let me tell you, the President of the United States calls everybody names.
“And he just said to a journalist, a woman journalist, called her piggy.
“He called someone a big, fat slob,” Waters claimed.
“And so, he’s doing it all the time.
“He gets away with it,” she alleged.
“The media does not challenge him, does not resist him.
“And so, I feel very comfortable and very free, hitting him back and talking about what I think about him.”
Unsurprisingly, Michaelson didn’t “challenge” Waters on any of the false claims she made during the interview.
