America Was This/Close to Experiencing President Charles Grassley

Much has been written about the young California man who breached the Secret Service checkpoint at last weekend’s White House Correspondents Association dinner at the Washington Hilton. We’ve heard everything there is to know about his nutty “manifesto,” the number of weapons on him when he bolted near the ballroom, and how he formerly was a “teacher” (no doubt one inspired by teachers’ union blowhard Randy Weingarten to consider Donald J. Trump as the Devil incarnate).

Monica Hesse in The Washington Post could not be more sympathetic to this miscreant who turned official Washington upside down, noting that “he was shirtless, with his lower half covered by a reflective blanket. His face was ground down into the ugly, well-trod carpet containing God knows what: bacteria, shoe dirt, ground-in crumbs from hotel-conference breakfast eggs.

He had not come even remotely close to harming Cabinet-level officials. But there he was on the floor, not a martyr but just a half-naked man kissing a low-pile rug.”

That, in a nutshell, is how the liberal media always covers serious, alarming news that could have plunged America into national chaos. “He had not come even remotely close to harming Cabinet-level officials”…so the WHCA shooting was, essentially, reduced to poor Wolf........
