While in no way excusing Trump's deplorable response to Mr. Khan's speech at the Democratic Convention, and in particular, what he said about Mrs. Khan, I find it extraordinarily disturbing (albeit not surprising) how the left-leaning mainstream media are responding to this situation. Here's how Gary Bauer, former Under Secretary of Education and Chief Domestic Policy Advisor to Ronald Reagan, put it in his daily End of Day report, which I subscribe to:
The same TV networks that have ignored the parents of American heroes who died in Benghazi in part because Hillary Clinton ignored their pleas for better security were quick to give the Kahns a big platform. Mr. Khan was a guest on CNN's State of the Union. Mrs. Khan has an op-ed in this morning's Washington Post.
In contrast, Pat Smith, mother of Sean Smith, who was murdered in Benghazi, was treated like dirt because she attacked Hillary Clinton, not Donald Trump. MSNBC called her speech offensive and called Khan's memorable. Chris Matthews said, "I don't care what that woman [Pat Smith] up there, the mother, has felt. Her emotions are her own." The Washington Post actually "fact-checked" Mrs. Smith's heartfelt plea for justice for her son.Double-standard much?
