The mainstream media can hardly keep quiet over suggestions that Republicans are nasty racists — but when one of their beloved Democrat’s makes a vile, racist comment, they go radio silent.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is spacing major backlash after making an reference to all African Americans looking alike.
She let loose with the racist phrase last Friday during an interview with Kara Swisher of Recode, and the mainstream media has not pushed back at all.
It started when Hillary said “I adore” New Jersey Senator Cory Booker.
Swisher asked about Booker, referencing a comment she thought he made about Democrats needing to track down Republicans and “kick ‘em.”
Booker actually told Democrats to “get in the face of some Congresspeople”—and instead, it was former Obama administration Attorney General Eric Holder who said to “kick” Republicans.
“That was Eric Holder,” Clinton said, obviously upset at the question.
“Oh yeah, Eric Holder,” Swisher said.
“Yeah, I know they all look alike,” Hillary responded.

Both Booker and Holder are African-American – and Clinton’s ugly comparison was as clear as day.
“No, they don’t,” Swisher said, before saving Hillary’s reputation by telling her, “well done.”
Hillary may have been trying to humiliate Swisher for asking an embarrassing question about Hillary’s support for someone who incited violence, but saying that all blacks look alike is a time-worn racial slur.
“If this was a Republican, male or female, they are finished,” Rush Limbaugh said.
The president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., tweeted:
Imagine @realDonaldTrump said the exact same thing in the exact same way. What would the media response be? Hysteria? Outrage? It would likely be beyond all that. Because I’m hearing crickets right now after Hillary said it. Wonder why. https://t.co/ekKLNkLvgU

Maybe it was just a slip of the tongue. And maybe Hillary really was just making a dumb joke — even though she’s got a history of making racial statements against Indian-Americans, Jews, Irish-Americans, and blacks.
But somehow, Democrats always get a pass on their hateful rhetoric.
No one is demanding that the Democratic Party ban Hillary from running for office. No reporter is running up to Democratic candidates, demanding that they denounce Clinton’s racially charged comments.
No one at the NAACP, Rainbow Coalition, or the SPLC—not a single person—is even asking for an apology!
But just look at how they treat people on the other side of the aisle.
Middle class patriots are always the ones labeled “haters,” “racists” and “bigots”—and not just by left-wing radicals. Even the GOP’s Beltway elites like to kick the common folks who live outside D.C., Wall Street, or the West Coast.
The Washington Post’s ‘conservative’ columnist, Jennifer Rubin, wrote that “Republicans insist their party isn’t racist, yet they continually defend a racist president.”
The New York Times’ ‘conservative’ columnist, David Brooks, said the entire Republican Party “has become a vehicle for white identity and racial conflict.”
And Miami Herald columnist Leonard Pitts wrote that, while not “every Republican is an overt racist, surely it is beyond debate that every overt racist runs as a Republican.”
The mainstream media couldn’t keep this story under wraps — the truth about Hillary Clinton is finally getting out, and her days in the spotlight are numbered.
