CNN journalist Jeff Zeleny on Sunday mocked Donald Trump’s speech in Poland as an antiquated address designed to appeal to “white America” and those who want “America first.” The cable network’s White House correspondent huffed that last week's address, which produced chants of “USA! USA!” from the crowd, “wasn't a modern day speech.”

The nasty Zeleny dismissed, “Thousands and thousands of people were waving American flags and Polish flags. This was not a speech he could have given really any place else. This is a white America, America First kind of speech.”

Mr. Zeleny, why, exactly, couldn’t Trump give that speech in America? One wonders what the reporter would have thought of Ronald Reagan’s “Tear down this wall” remarks.

In 2009, Zeleny wrote for the New York Times and embarrassed himself with this softball to Barack Obama:

“During these first 100 days, what has surprised you the most about this office? Enchanted you the most from serving in this office? Humbled you the most? And troubled you the most?”

The Free Beacon noted that Zeleny isn’t the only journalist to find Trump’s Warsaw address somehow bigoted:

A Vox article said the speech sounded like an "alt-right manifesto," and the Washington Post‘s Jonathan Capehart claimed it was full of "white-nationalist dog whistles."
