"We'll hold a politician accountable if they say something vile once. But not if they do it every day."
and that is how we create monsters like drumpf, MTG, boebert and the rest of these lunatics..........

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1017694632
Kyle Clark, anchor and managing editor of "Next with Kyle Clark" on 9News in Denver, talks with Rachel Maddow about the challenge of reporting on politicians like Lauren Boebert, who say "cruel, false, and bigoted things" with regularity, without amplifying the message or helping publicity stunts, and the double standard that politicians who are not routinely offensive get more coverage when they cross the line than those who have no regard for the line in the first place. Aired on 11/19/2021.
