CBS This Morning on Monday eagerly hyped a new expose by the Washington Post: As a child, Donald Trump pulled pigtails and threw rocks at kids. This is the same Washington Post that went after Mitt Romney for allegedly forcing a haircut on another boy in 1965. Talking to reporters Marc Fisher and Michael Kranish, CBS co-host Norah O’Donnell wondered, “You go all the way back to his childhood to help reveal some of Donald Trump. What did you learn?”

Post editor Marc Fisher revealed the not-so-startling revelations: “We learned as he once said, he hasn’t changed since second grade. Keep that in mind as you hear about some of the things that he did, such as throwing rocks at a toddler in the yard right across from his own home, pulling the pigtails of one of his classmates.”….

The Washington Post book, Trump Revealed, is 448 pages. The hosts on CBS did not explain when they would release a similar effort on Hillary Clinton. As Brent Bozell and Tim Graham noted, the Post on August 15, devoted a front page look at the Democrat’s 1969 college address. The headline oozed, “At Wellesley, fiery speech was a breakout moment.”….

In contrast, the Post in 2012 devoted 5400 words to the “pranks of a then-17-year-old Romney….

A young Romney gave haircuts and Trump pulled pigtails. But Clinton delivered an inspiring speech. This is the difference in how the Post investigates the backgrounds of Republicans and Democrats.

    The girl sounds Islamaphobic. Followup should be done, asking ‘Syrian refugees’ what they think of pigtails and would they do anything relative to them.
