[See NewsBusters for more.] The journalists at ABC and MSNBC on Tuesday could not contain their rage over Chris Christie’s hard-hitting Republican National Convention speech, denouncing it as “inciting” a “mob.” Noting that delegates chanted “lock her [Hillary Clinton] up," ABC’s Terry Moran fretted to the New Jersey governor, “Do you think that is a good thing for American politics when political disagreements result in a crowd basically becoming a mob?” In reply, Christie scoffed, “Come on. This is such an overstatement on your part.” Over on MSNBC, reporter Kelly O’Donnell also talked to the Republican. She lectured, “You incited this crowd to get on their feet, to talk about her [Hillary Clinton] say guilty over and over again. Do you think that is unifying the party in a way that's good for the country?”
