HYPOCRISY ALERT: How Would’ve MSM Reacted If This Happened Under Trump?

I can’t help but wonder how MSM would’ve reacted if Trump had been POTUS at the time.

Just kidding. I don’t need to wonder. I already know how they’d react.

Back in 2014, an illegal immigrant’s family sued Obama and federal agencies over the death of their loved one. They say he died after not receiving proper medical treatment in a detention facility.

From the original 2014 article:

Nancy Luna fought back tears Friday as she discussed her husband’s ordeal.

At a news conference Friday, attended by CBS2’s Amy Johnson, Luna said her husband had Type 2 diabetes, and his care was neglected.

He was held at the Metropolitan Detention Center, among other places.

Last March, Roberto Aguilar Batista, 38, died from complications of diabetes at the Dalby Correctional Facility.

“It’s so tough, because he was so young,” said Batista’s niece Esmeralda Aguilar.

She said her uncle was constantly writing letters.

“He was letting [his wife] know it was really tough in there. That he didn’t want to be in there,” said Aguilar.

Batista lived in the LA area for 10 years with his wife and two daughters.

He was arrested in June 2013 on suspicion of entering the country illegally.

His family says at the Metropolitan Detention Center he was denied proper care and developed kidney damage, a heart attack and blindness.

Batista was moved to three other facilities before his death.

“They gave me another medicine,” Batista wrote in a letter read by his attorney, James Segall-Gutierrez, “that de-controlled my sugar levels.”

In a letter a month before he died, he complained of not receiving proper medical care and also asked for an attorney.

Local media outlets covered the story at the time, but I have to wonder. Where was the 24/7 coverage on CNN? NBC? MSNBC? ABC? CBS? Can you imagine if this happened, say, now? With Trump in office? Liberals would be shouting from the rooftops. They’d be crying for justice. They’d be calling President Trump a dictator. A murderer. A soulless ghoul.

Why didn’t we see that kind of national reaction in 2014?

If libs were principled individuals who cared about these individuals as much as they say they do, they would’ve had the same reaction back in 2014. But they didn’t. Do you know why? Because their precious Barack Obama was POTUS.

What does that tell you?
