[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS This Morning co-host Tony Dokoupil on Friday hypocritically huffed about the “moral” outrage of Donald Trump’s upcoming Tulsa rally, but told Senator James Lankford that the protests the country has seen recently are fine because they are not organized. After Dokoupil lectured the Republican by saying, “So why put public safety at risk for a political rally,” Lankford shot back by mentioning “gatherings like protests.” Dokoupil replied with this nonsensical retort: “Protests are outdoor events and they're not organized by something like a major political party or the President of the United States.” Well, as long as protests aren’t officially organized or supported by the President, COVID threats can be ignored?
