“raising fears that he might be taking steps to lend credibility to Trump..”
Think about that statement. They would rather allow election fraud than Trump be right. That one tiny statement speaks thousands of words as to the terrible state the country is in BECAUSE OF THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA.
if Trump is right, and therefore ‘credible,’ it follows that his 80 million supporters are also credible. And the MSM can’t deal with that reality.
As Trump has often said, they’re coming after him but they’re really coming after us. ( the hysterical reaction and rush to condemn/fire/harass any rally attendee, whether they were inside or outside of the Capitol protest, shows just how obsessive/compulsive/pathologically deep their hatred towards Deplorables is)
