CNN’s Inside Politics host John King insisted on Thursday’s show that he wasn’t blaming President Donald Trump for this week’s mail bombs, but did exactly that. On Friday, King did it again, declaring that the pro-Trump bumper stickers on the suspects van (including “CNN sucks”) “does not make the President responsible for this,” even though he used the word “but” to then do not only that, but directly lecture Trump supporters. 

Chief political correspondent Dana Bash and political reporter M.J. Lee were alongside in trying to have it both ways, emotionally lashing out at the President and connecting condemnations of the media to the suspect’s actions and mental state.
