[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS This Morning’s Gayle King on Thursday complained to Paul Ryan that he made her and other minorities feel “excluded” during his time as Speaker under Donald Trump. The co-host also slimed the Republican about “compromising” his personal integrity. King’s aggressive questioning is quite the contrast to her fawning interview with liberal Congressman Joe Kennedy III on Sunday. There, she hailed the “legendary,” “storied” Democrat and his family. In the exclusive interview with Ryan, the Speaker touted his mentor, the late Jack Kemp. King sneered: “Your mentor Jack Kemp is very different from President Trump. Do you ever feel that you had to compromise your own personal values to play along to get along?” She also showed Ryan a picture of him, Mitch McConnell, Donald Trump and others to somehow paint the politician as sympathetic to bigotry.
