Donald Trump called out the “liberal mainstream media” Wednesday for what he deems a double standard between comments he and President Obama made.
Obama said we shouldn’t be encouraging illegal immigration, calling many who come over illegally “gangbangers” America is trying to deport as quickly as possible.
Trump took to Instagram to ask where the media outrage at Obama was.
“Today at a town hall event in Nashville, Tennessee, President Barrack [sic] Obama referred to some illegal immigrants as “gang-bangers,” he began.
“It is our expectation that the media responds to President Obama with the same vitriolic manor for his statement made earlier today. Where is the outcry from the liberal mainstream media demanding an apology from the president?”
Trump’s Instagram went on to state the media tried to distort his comments–that Mexican immigrants were rapists, criminals and drug lords–when they were “far less controversial” than the president’s.
“Make our borders strong and stop illegal immigration,” Trump concluded.
