Rabbi Dov Fischer explains in The American Spectator that from day one, the media, which he calls “a division of the Democrat Party,” never gave the president a chance. Meanwhile, they have lionized Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York, whose dictate to nursing homes to accept infected patients caused mass death in the state. Fischer writes (abridged):
Through eight years, I accepted the rules of the game. Obama was president.
He won fair and square because the Republicans serially put up two milquetoast opponents who were incapable of offering a vision or articulating a message that inspired.
I accepted Obama. I never articulated his first name, and I never called him “president,” but I accepted the results and accepted that this Pretender was our country’s lawfully elected chief executive.
I watched his arrogance, the unctuous way he carried himself literally with his nose up, the way he never held a railing while walking a stairway because he was too cool
I have come deeply to hate.
I hate that Donald Trump never was given a chance to be president of the United States for even one day’s honeymoon.
I hate that, long before he won the presidency — fair and square — corrupt crooks and criminals in the United States Department of Justice, its Federal Bureau of Investigation, were actively plotting to take him down. I hate that there are so few outlets in the media that give voice to condemn the criminality and corruption that broke every accepted societal norm by which we play the game.
I hate that Obama was in on it, yet continues to pontificate on what is just and on what threatens freedom.
If the media were not a division of the Democrat Party, does anyone doubt that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo today would have been forced from …if only for presiding over so extraordinary a health catastrophe that his one state accounts for half the coronavirus illnesses and deaths in the whole country? Cuomo ordered nursing homes in his state to admit coronavirus-infected seniors into facilities that were woefully unprepared to handle the medical ramifications, and that order singularly caused mass death.
