The conservative threw a tantrum for a tan suit. They are just too weak to be critical of Trump.

They are just too weak to be critical of Trump.

You mean kind of like redditors pretending the worst thing Obama ever did was wear a tan suit?

They’re mocking Fox News and the right News sphere in general for focusing on that so heavily, not because it’s actually the worst thing he did but because they often had nothing worse to talk about…

Yes, I get it. Like how it'd be incredibly silly to spend a decade pretending like the worst thing Trump he ever did was eat a second scoop of ice cream, even though the media really did spend time on that story.

Was it one program on Fox? Maybe two, for a couple of days? I honestly don't even remember the actual coverage. I just remember it coming up constantly, on this website, year after year, any time there's a thread about Obama.
