No Apologies For Li'l Donnie?

In the aftermath of Roseanne Barr’s racist tweet and her subsequent firing by ABC, Li’l Donnie Trump did what he always does: he made it about him. 

 

"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?"

 

Li’l Donnie did not specify exactly what has been said on ABC that warrants a call of apology.  

 

Slithering up from her smoldering brimstone pit, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders came up with a list.    

• “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?”
  • Hill used to host SportsCenter, was reprimanded by ESPN's president for her comments and voluntarily left the show.
• “To Christians around the world for Joy Behar calling Christianity a mental illness?”
  • Behar did apologize for her remarks, which were directed specifically at Vice President Mike Pence's religious beliefs.
  • How does Trump rate getting a call of apology on behalf of offended Christians? 
• Where was the apology for Kathy Griffin going on a profane rant against the president on 'The View' after a photo showed her holding president Trump's decapitated head?
  • Kathy received a lot of negative blow back for the photo of her holding president Trump's decapitated head which led to her being dropped from a comedy tour of the states and being fired from her New Year’s Eve gig on CNN with Anderson Cooper. So her actions were not without negative consequences.
  • Also, Griffin was not an employee of ABC but a guest on an ABC show.
• 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?
  • How does calling one guy a Nazi equate to an attack on that one guy’s family?   

Sanders added, "This is a double standard that the president is speaking about, no one is defending her (Roseanne's) comment, they're inappropriate, but that is the point he was making.”  

 

In reference to all of these points, Trump is a public figure and people have a right to express their opinions about him.

Valerie Jarrett is a private citizen that someone in a very public forum was the subject of a most emphatically racist comment.

 

Hey, Li’l Donnie, you’re a moronic, crooked, lying fucking asshole. And you’re not getting an apology from me.
