Test of intrnal link

Today, in the first White House press briefing since January 3, 2019, Sarah Sanders criticized House Democrats, and by extension the Democratic Party.  Sanders blamed the Party for its handling of Rep.Ilhan Omar's ill-advised comments about Israel.  To do that, Sanders made comparisons to how the Republican Party dealt with Rep. Steve King.

Trouble with that is, King was removed from his Committee seats in the House because of comments he made that were openly supportive of white supremacy.  Rep. Omar, on the other hand, criticized policies of the Israeli government, but never suggested that such criticism should be taken as a platform for anti-Semitism.

Test

To a language maven like me, statements like Sanders' today, and in general the willingness of Trumpworld to distort meaning, is reprehensible and dangerous.
