In the aftermath of third ranking House Republican Steve Scalise’s scandal regarding a meeting with a white nationalist group, Fox News Special Report panelist Charles Krauthammer noted a seemingly obvious double standard. While Scalise is being hit hard – and justifiably so – by the media for his actions, President Obama largely was excused for sitting in on Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s racist, anti-American sermons.
Krauthammer criticized the fact that Scalise is being held accountable “for a single event 12 years ago," but the President spent over two decades at Rev. Wright’s church and the liberal media gave him a pass. He added that he didn’t “even think it’s comparable.”
