I know it’s tough to remember all the dumb things you’ve said in the past when you’re a CNN analyst, but that’s why some of us have principles so that we don’t have to remember, we just go by what we believe.
And apparently, what Kirsten Powers believes is that Dems deserve breaks, and Republicans do not.
"This kerfuffle over the use of a word we can't say on TV...was said actually at a private party. Someone recorded it and it was not meant to be out in public," points out @KirstenPowers, adding that Trump has said the same thing at campaign rallies. https://t.co/j6o2PA2RV8 pic.twitter.com/3H5eDkXoMR

Uh, ok? But wait, didn’t that literally happen to tons of Republicans? Didn’t that happen to Mitt Romney and Trump? What did she say about that?

Ohhhh when he was caught on video talking privately to a crowd, she WROTE AN ENTIRE COLUMN ABOUT WHAT HE SAID.
But when Rashida Tlaib does it, we’re supposed to ignore it, right right right right. Got it.
Also, if you point out that Tlaib said that about the president, AND she was also stupidly demanding impeachment before an investigation is completed, you’re a racist and a sexist:
2/ Where were the shrieking headlines when Trump said the same word she used? We need to be clear that there is a major double standard here: white man can curse but if a woman, esp a brown one, esp a Muslim one does it....she will be punished...

Bleh. Whatever. She also wrote about Trump’s “Access Hollywood” video, when that was private too. I guess only Muslims and women deserve privacy, not the rest of us. Although, I imagine that if someday there’s a Muslim woman Republican who gets caught on video, Powers will suddenly discover a new principle of criticism then as well…
Hey you have yourselves an open thread – here’s a funny comment starter:
