Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have each now referred to the president of Mexico as a “friend.” Guess how Breitbart News responded to each of those quotes. Media Matters rounds it up:
Trump: A strong prosperous and vibrant Mexico is in the best interest of the United States and will keep and help keep, for a long, long period of time, America together. Both of our countries will work together for mutual good, and most importantly for the mutual good of our people. Mr. President, I want to thank you. It’s been a tremendous honor and I call you a friend. Thank you.
Breitbart: The visit was a “triumph” and we are not mentioning the “friend” thing.
But just a few months ago, Clinton criticized Trump for attacking “our friends—including the British prime minister, the mayor of London, the German chancellor, the president of Mexico and the Pope.” At that time, Breitbart had this to say:
Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton has claimed that Mexico’s corruption and scandal-plagued President Enrique Peña Nieto is America’s friend. [...]
Despite her efforts to attack Trump, Clinton failed to mention a few key facts about Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto that reveal he may not be a good friend to have.
Well, that’s Breitbart for you. And of course Breitbart and Trump have a very special relationship, beyond even the usual partisanship.
Can you give just $1 to help Hillary Clinton beat Donald Trump?
