Republican Senator Rand Paul nailed the liberal spin coming from CBS This Morning co-host Gayle King on Thursday, hammering the hypocrisy on the firing of James Comey. After King, who is also a Democratic donor, questioned the way in which Comey was fired, Paul fired back: “I think if they summarily dismissed Comey earlier on without going through that process, you know all the left-wing media would have been up in arms with that too.”

Ouch. The Senator lectured, “The left has wanted to get rid of [Comey] for six months. We finally do what the left wants and they can only complain and make up stories about how it means, ‘Oh, the end of the Republic.’”

An irritated King icily responded, “No, Senator, I think it's clear that both sides wanted him to go. The question always has been about the timing of it. That's all.” She demanded, “Is it okay with you that Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who had recused himself from the investigation, was pretty much involved in the decision to let James Comey go?”

King perfectly fits the Republican’s definition of the “left-wing media.” In April of 2017, it was revealed that she vacationed with the Obamas, lamely defending it as “not political” and just “spending time with friends.”

In 2012, she attended an Obama fund-raiser. So she’s hardly an objective interrogator on the Comey issue.

Paul kept the focus on the Democrats, telling King:

Most Democrats feel like he insinuated Hillary Clinton's guilt and then did not indict her. Most Republicans felt like, well, you know, with all the evidence of her guilt and him saying so much about what she did wrong, why didn't he indict her? So I don't think you've ever had an FBI Director where both sides were very unhappy with him.
