GOP Rep. To Media: Your Coverage Forced Trump To Attack Attorney General

Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA) blamed the media on Thursday for forcing, in a “bank-shot” fashion, President Donald Trump’s relentless attacks on his own attorney general.

Brat said the media had fueled the attacks — everything short of typing Trump’s tweets for him.

In a statement Wednesday on the matter, Brat said Trump’s anger at Sessions — whose recusal from campaign- and Russian meddling-related matters paved the way for the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller — was partially the media’s fault.

“One thing is for sure: when AG Sessions erred on the side of caution by recusing himself, he never could have foreseen the 24/7 full-throated obsession over Russia by the mainstream media,” he wrote. “The media’s attacks have only escalated since Trump’s inauguration. Fake news dominates.”

3. What a tool

Yes interest has been intense because there is a great deal of circumstantial evidence that points to something there. These are the same attacks that Nixon engaged in when the Watergate investigation closed in on him, except that there was no Right Wing bubble that keeps the fools insulated from information so that they can believe their "fake news" nonsense.
