Donald Trump called Huma Abedin's husband, disgraced former congressman Anthony Weiner, a "perv". Today CNN is writing an article about how Trump is "defiantly" sticking to the "charge". The Clinton campaign is denouncing the charge as unfair.
Before we go any further, let's start with the facts:
1. Weiner is, in fact, a perv. While his wife was pregnant with their child (and a bit before that too), Weiner was sending naked pictures of himself across the internet. He was sexting with women who he met online. He appeared to be planning to meet them. While their are worse things Weiner could have done, it is fair to call him a perv.
2. Weiner pretty much admitted by his conduct that he is a perv. When the story came out, he resigned his seat in Congress. Let's not forget that.
3. Weiner's wife who is also Hillary Clinton's closest aide stood by him. (Maybe Hillary told Huma how well that had worked when Bill had his affairs.)
4. Trump said that Huma had an email account on Hillary's private unsecured server and she might have put classified information on that account just like Hillary did with her own. Then he pointed out the her husband is a perv and she might be sharing the classified info with him too.
So was what Trump said wrong? I don't think so. Weiner is indeed a perv, and he is married to Hillary's closest aide. She might share sensitive info with him; who knows?
The funny thing about the whole matter is that CNN writes about it like Trump was wrong to call Weiner a perv. It's unbelievable! We all know the old line that CNN stands for Clinton news network, but even for CNN it is a stretch to take false offense at anyone calling Weiner a perv. What's next? Will CNN condemn someone else for calling Bill Clinton a philanderer? Will we see articles condemning people who insensitively call Hillary a liar? Why? She's clearly a liar.
In many ways, this is much like the early days of the Obama administration when all opposition to our president was labeled "racist" when it clearly wasn't. This is all just a ploy to try to get opponents of Hillary to shut up. But does CNN really think that tactic will work with Donald Trump? It's hilarious just how out of touch with reality CNN really is.
