President Trump complains of different news coverage of him compared to Obama after SC church massacre

President Donald Trump complained about the news coverage he has received related to the alleged pipe bomber, saying a different standard was applied to then-President Barack Obama when nine black worshipers were killed at a church in Charleston (SC) during his tenure. “I was in the headline of The Washington Post, my name associated with this crazy bomber,” President Trump said. “They didn’t do that with President Obama with the church, the horrible situation with the church — they didn’t do that.” President Trump also asserted that a different standard was applied by the media when James Hodgkinson, a supporter of Sen Bernie Sanders (I-VT), shot House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) and others at a congressional baseball practice in 2017. “Bernie Sanders had a fan who shot a very good friend of ours, Steve Scalise — and other people. He was a total maniac. Nobody puts his name in the headline — Bernie Sanders in the headline with the maniac,” President Trump said.
