Judith Miller: Trump’s Tougher on Fake News than He Is on Real Bigotry

‘He doesn’t want to criticize the people in his base, who happen to share those ideas’

RUSH EXCERPT:
MILLER: "Well, as it’s been said, who are you going to believe me or your lying eyes? We all saw that video. It was very clear very early on what was going on here. The president at the very least missed an opportunity. But I think it became very clear that there are two subjects that President Trump simply doesn’t want to criticize, he doesn’t want to go by — he doesn’t want to criticize the people in his base, who happen to share those ideas. And secondly, he doesn’t want to criticize Vladimir Putin of Russia. Those are the two subjects and people he simply won’t go near. It is amazing to me that the president was actually tougher on what he calls fake news than he was on real bigotry in this country. And it is a terrible, terrible thing."
