We can certainly argue about Clinton's remarks, but Republican politicians often say significantly worse things every day...

Oh, I dunno, how about Rick Saconne saying that Dems hate God and the country.

Why isn't there a slew of commentators talking about how such remarks cost him the election?

To attack black people as having nothing to lose and a bunch of ingrates .

It's ok to use pocahontas as an insult to native American vets.

But it's nor ok to say why people voted for someone who did the above and far worse.

implemented, or what it means that parts of Dodd Frank has been reversed, or the consequences of the growing number of red states that are requiring Medicaid recipients to work in order to receive healthcare, etc etc etc

I wonder if the press would be outraged if someone called trump a liar?

Answer: Only if it was said by a woman

What a sexist disgrace our society is, and the press is part of it. 2016 demonstrated this time and time again. Just watch the double standard Matt Lauer interview
