The media isn't properly covering Donald Trump's Hitler-echoing comments, according to his own niece Tuesday.
Mary Trump, a psychologist who has been critical of her uncle and their shared family, said during a conversation with comedian Kathy Griffin that she has pretty much been on "lockdown" since November 9th, 2016, and that she has "lost a lot of friends over politics."
"Your experience just reminds me one of the incredible double standards--Republicans can literally be Hitler," Mary Trump said Tuesday. "And for the corporate media, it's still all about the horse race, not about the danger. When somebody on the left either makes a mistake or does something that you think is wrong, it's not just the people on the right who are going to eviscerate you. It's people on the left too."
Mary Trump went on to say that "people don't pay too much attention or they only pay attention to certain things, which is just exacerbated by the media's insistence upon the horse race."
"The fact that the media doesn't have above the fold in 80-point font that Donald is echoing Hitler in his rally speeches or whatever you want to call them, is insane," she then added. "There should be no other news right now, other of course, than the fact that the Republican party seems absolutely incapable of governing and is going to destroy this country."
She added that, "If you had told me in late November, 2020 that things would be worse and scarier now, I would not have believed you. So, one of the dangers, and again, you're somebody who's sort of in my boat, we've been dealing with this for much longer than most people. How do we survive the fatigue? Because I think the impulse is to ignore Donald and turn away, but we literally cannot afford to," Mary Trump said to Kathy Griffin
She added that the media sites "made Donald the Republican nominee before the first Republican debate even happened."
"They want this race between Biden and Donald. And if you talk about Donald like any other candidate, you normalize all the horrible things that he's done and continues to do. Plus, and you alluded to this earlier, the fact that all of these trials are happening simultaneously and you don't have enough people in the media explaining why that is, people who are basically primed to think this way will think it's a conspiracy. How is it possible that one person could be on trial for so many things at the same time? So, it does look like that. However, I think, and let me know what you think about this, once we have verdicts and judgments start coming in, do you think that's going to change the course of events?"
