The media has been having fits after yesterday’s White House task force briefing where MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell spoke about what he was doing to help in this pandemic. MSNBC host Ali Velshi was one of them, but got called out by former Fox News host Greta Van Susteren for mocking Lindell, saying “Trump just called the “My Pillow” guy up to the podium in the Rose Garden. You cannot make this stuff up.”

I love how Greta responds, saying “Why do you mock ANYONE who would help in any way? What is wrong w/ you? People need help and we should encourage everyone to help in any way.”

Velshi tried to defend himself, saying “Come on, Greta. Lots of people are doing things in this effort. How did the My Pillow guy make the cut with the CEOs of Honeywell and P&G?”

But Greta wasn’t having any of that, and continued to call him out: “What are YOU doing? Tell me what YOU are doing besides sitting on the sidelines being snarky? I love my job but I know we don’t do the heavy lifting; we get paid big salaries to TALK ABOUT stories and that is easy..thank you to everyone helping..from healthcare workers to businesses”

Velshi finally conceded that he was ‘grateful’ for what Lindell was doing, but couldn’t stop defending himself: “Greta, I’m grateful for what he’s doing, but are you at all curious about whether donations ($200k) to Trump should play a role in whom the president highlights at a time like this? Because asking THAT question on behalf of the public IS our job.”

Greta didn’t respond. But she got a ‘Go Greta’ from Brit Hume who loved what she was doing…

The anti-Trump media simply cannot stop attacking the president they loathe, even during a freaking pandemic where he’s bringing the country together to make up for the failings of government and fight this virus, which is the way it should be. I know I’ve said this many times since Trump became president, but I seriously don’t ever remember even once when the media were like this with Obama, and he had YUGE scandals! But he ALWAYS got a pass from this media, just like Trump ALWAYS gets attacked from this media.
