Even CNN host Don Lemon is calling out the hypocrisy from Democratic politicians in their reactions to the discovery of classified documents in President Biden’s possession compared to those previously found in former President Trump’s possession, telling Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) that he seems “more measured” about the Biden discovery.
The exchange happened during an interview on CNN.
“Don, there’s now a special prosecutor,” Schumer said. “Let’s see what they have to say. We can have all the speculation and comment. Let’s see what they have to say and let’s focus on doing things that help the American people.”
“But, Senator, I have to get — I have to say this,” Lemon responded. “You seem much more measured about this than with the Trump documents because you called for transparency with the Trump documents. You wanted lawmakers to have access to the documents seized from the former president, his residence in Florida, which it seems like you –”
Schumer interjected, “The bottom line is, I said that night it was premature to comment on what should be done, and I stood by that.”
“For President Trump?” Lemon asked.
“Yes, former President Trump. That’s exactly right. That’s what I said,” Schumer responded.
“So, you think that your statements are consistent for both?” Lemon asked.
“I sure do. You bet,” Schumer claimed.
