You may have noticed the media adopted a new standard for presidential utterances as soon as Donald Trump took office. As soon as Trump became president, the media immediately began reporting every statement Trump made along with the editorial comment that he had spoken “without evidence” to back up whatever he said.
That’s funny. I don’t remember them telling us when Barack Obama offered no evidence his critics were racist, or that Harry Reid offered no evidence Mitt Romney hadn’t paid taxes for 10 years, or that Hillary Clinton offered no evidence of the vast right-wing conspiracy, or that Bill Clinton had offered no evidence the federal government could spend people’s money better than they could spend it themselves.
