Interrupt Obama and reporters are racist, interrupt Trump and they're heroes

Hall of Fame conservative radio host Mark Levin is blowing the whistle on what he sees as double standard over the Trump administration's move last week to bar a CNN White House reporter from an event after she shouted several questions at the president inside the Oval Office.

On his top ranked radio show, Levin mocked media that has "Circled the wagons" around CNN's Kaitlan Collins who asked Trump, sitting with European Union Commission head Jean-Claude Juncker, about tapes the cable network had of the president allegedly talking with his former lawyer about payments to a Playboy model.

Levin raised the double standard and the handling of conservative press by the former Obama administration and how when they were targeted the liberal media didn't rally for them.

"Obama cut him off and shut him down and the media agree with him, no circling of the wagons around Mr. Munro," said Levin.

"I don't remember news organizations putting out statements defending Neil Munro, do you? And he wasn't in the Oval Office, the time wasn't cut off, Obama wasn't with another foreign leader, he wasn't being asked about prosecutors and such investigating him and such because that didn't happen of course because he's Obama, they'd never do that, but he asked a policy question," said Levin.

"Munro's interruption was racist," said Levin, after playing comments attacking the reporter for asking Obama while he was speaking if his new policy was fair to American workers.

In defending CNN, Levin noted that some reporters said asking a president anything was their First Amendment right.
