MSNBC Both siderisms

I was just listening to Balart. He had a guest on who was asked about the ruling on Hunter and he went to "that's why no wants either Trump or Biden because of all this legal baggage" and he even spouted off about how Biden was being investigated for having secret documents. Etc.. Fuck MSNBC. I just shut it off.

There's no way in hell you can equate the slob father and Biden, but they just tried.

Says it is Biden leniency.
His lackey prosecutor did this to deflect from Trump's woes.
MSNBC took the bait.

Of course he's going to make noises that both sides are equally wrong. But Balart let him get away with it without any pushback. Balart tries to be neutral but his brother is R politician and he can't help it. At least he's not as bad as he could be.
