The Press did it again.
On ABC's This Week, Jonathan Karl let White House Chief of Staff get away with saying that the people decided in November that they did not care about the President's Tax Returns when he won a great victory. The Press has to start calling the White House on this. To be fair, Chuck Todd on Meet the Press this morning did mention this to the Vice President when asking when the President will start to reach out to the majority of the country that did not vote for him.
There have been previous posts on this issue before and there will continue to be if the press lets Trump officials and supporters get away with that lie. The President is only President because of the electoral college. He lost the popular vote by close to three million people. Ten Million more people in this country voted for other candidates other than him.
There is no mandate for what he proposes.
The Press needs to do its job on a consistent basis.
