If you’ll remember from 2016, CNN’s Brian Stelter defended Hillary Clinton from rumors by Trump camp and decried them for being unfair and mean and uncivil and he clutched every pearl on God’s green Earth.
But it’s 2019 now, and we got a Republican president so now it’s totally OK to question his mental health.
Watch below:
Now look at his tweets from 2016:

He’s pretty insistent on debunking “conspiracies” about Clinton’s health – and even some about Trump’s health!

And yet now, he’s giving airtime and credence to theories about Trump’s mental health. That’s what we call “hypocritical” in our line of business.
