The mainstream media's protective instincts kicked into overdrive Sunday as ABC's George Stephanopoulos desperately tried to shield fallen CNN star Don Lemon from accountability after his arrest by Trump's Justice Department.
During a tense "This Week" interview, Stephanopoulos went to bat for Lemon, who was arrested for his role in illegal protest activities. But Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche wasn't having any of the liberal media's damage control.
The exchange perfectly illustrates how the legacy media operates as a protection racket for their own, even when one of their darlings gets caught breaking the law. Stephanopoulos, a former Clinton operative masquerading as a journalist, couldn't hide his bias as he questioned the Trump administration's commitment to equal justice under law.
Trump's DOJ Means Business
This arrest sends a clear message that the days of media elites operating above the law are over. Under the Biden regime, leftist talking heads could spew hatred and participate in violent demonstrations without consequence. Those days are finished.
Blanche stood firm against Stephanopoulos's desperate attempts to portray Lemon as some kind of victim. The Deputy AG made it crystal clear that no one - not even former cable news personalities - gets special treatment under Trump's restored rule of law.
"The Justice Department will enforce the law equally, regardless of someone's media connections or political beliefs," Blanche stated, shutting down the ABC host's theatrical outrage.
Media Meltdown Continues
This meltdown from Stephanopoulos proves what patriots have known all along - the mainstream media isn't interested in journalism. They're running a protection racket for the radical left, and they're panicking now that Trump is back in charge.
Lemon's arrest is just the beginning. After years of weaponized justice under Biden, Americans are finally seeing what real accountability looks like. The media mob spent four years cheering political prosecutions of Trump supporters, but now they're crying foul when one of their own faces consequences.
How long before other media figures who incited violence and lawlessness face similar justice? The Trump administration is proving that equal justice isn't just a slogan - it's a promise being kept.
