Oh boy! And all it took was a scandal in a Republican’s administration:

.@peterbakernyt isn't the burden for him to prove he didn't create an atmosphere where underlings thought this was okay? #TweetThePress — David Gregory (@davidgregory) January 9, 2014

Just on its surface, Gregory’s tweet is asinine enough:

But when you consider that Gregory didn’t seem to feel that way about anything that happened on President Obama’s watch, his hackery grows exponentially:

Maybe I'm not a supersmart reporter like you, David. But how does one prove a negative? Also, IRS. Go. @davidgregory @peterbakernyt — RBe (@RBPundit) January 9, 2014

.@davidgregory @peterbakernyt Isn't the burden on Obama to prove he didnt create an atmosphere where IRS/EPA/etc would target opponents? — American Elephant (@AmericnElephant) January 9, 2014

Hey, @DavidGregory, I'm looking, but I can't find the tweet where you say the burden is on Obama RE: IRS abuse. Can you link it? Thanks. — RBe (@RBPundit) January 9, 2014

@SaintRPh @davidgregory @peterbakernyt I second the question. Ask the same question of Obama & the NSA, IRS, EPA, DOJ and on & on! — HORSEFEATHERS (@SarahVail1) January 9, 2014

.@davidgregory @peterbakernyt Hi David.. Hey show me where you asked burden of proof was on Obama for creating the IRS targeting scandal.. — Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) January 9, 2014

Gee. He can’t recall. But maybe that’s because he’s still got his own burden to deal with:

@RBPundit I forget, what's the burden on proving you didn't violate DC gun laws on film? @davidgregory — Michael Blum (@MichaelBlum3) January 9, 2014

Remember this?

What a colossal joke.

Breaking: @davidgregory is still a biased douche pretending to be a news guy. — O'Mav (@TheMaverick21) January 9, 2014

@davidgregory @peterbakernyt such rank hypocrisy and dereliction of duty. just quit. you're a disgrace to journalism. — American Elephant (@AmericnElephant) January 9, 2014
