In the latest example of mainstream media embarrassing itself while trying to nail Donald Trump, a Wall Street Journal reporter falls flat on his face while trying to accuse el Trumpo of hypocrisy.
Listen closely to the clip:
Eli Stokols of the Wall Street Journal rips President Trump for not demanding death penalty for already dead Las Vegas shooter. pic.twitter.com/yYnUiSaXrO

Eli Stokols tries to say that Trump’s ethnocentric nationalism lead him to demand that the terrorist attacker in NYC should be given the death penalty, while not handing out the same kind of outrage over the Las Vegas shooter, who was white.
One tiny issue – the Vegas shooter immediately committed suicide when cops found him.
SO why would Trump demand the death penalty for a dude who was already dead? That’s just sad.
Now look, this in no way disproves what really might be some ethnocentric views creeping under the toupee of el presidente, but Stokols completely strikes out and misses on this one.
Trump calls Uzbek suspected in NYC attack "this animal."
Last month, he called the Vegas gunman "demented…a very sick person."
