Those other examples are completely different. Don Jr. did not invite the New York Times to his meeting with the Russian lawyer. POTUS did not think anyone was listening when he was talking to Billy Bush. This idiot purposely and voluntarily sat down with a New York Times reporter and ran is mouth for an hour. Whatever negative consequences that come to him after doing that are entirely his own fault.
LOL. So dealing with the NYT is the big mistake. How many Reps have given interviews to the NYT, including the President who has done it a number of times including when he was campaigning and as President. King gave a interview to the NYT in 2014.
Before Trump, Steve King Set the Agenda for the Wall and Anti-Immigrant Politics Check out the NYT video at the link. Tell me what you disagree with re the actual statements made by King.
