Today, the White House reaffirmed President Trump’s tweet calling out the double standard the media has for insults hurled at the left versus the right. Yesterday, President Trump tweeted, “Bob Iger of ABC called Valerie Jarrett to let her know that “ABC does not tolerate comments like those” made by Roseanne Barr. Gee, he never called President Donald J. Trump to apologize for the HORRIBLE statements made and said about me on ABC. Maybe I just didn’t get the call?”
The tweet resonated with conservatives across the country who have witnessed the continuous barrage of attacked being hurdled against women, Christians, and anyone else who happens to be a conservative or Trump supporter in this country.

Speaking at Wednesday’s briefing, Press Secretary Sarah Sanders made it clear that the American public is aware of the media’s double standard when it comes to who is and is not okay to insult. “Where was Bob Iger’s apology to the White House staff for Jemele Hill calling the president and anyone associated with him a white supremacist? To Christians around the world for Joy Behar calling Christianity a ‘mental illness’?”

Sanders continued, “Where was the apology for Kathy Griffin, who went on a profane rant against the president on ‘The View’ after a photo showed her holding President Trump’s decapitated head? And where was the apology from Bob Iger for ESPN hiring Keith Olbermann after his numerous expletive-laced tweets attacking the president as a Nazi, and even expanding Olbermann’s role after that attack against the president’s family?”
These statements come on the heels of the cancelation of Roseanne Barr’s hit show “Roseanne” after she tweeted a tongue-and-cheek insult to Valerie Jarrett.
