Well, well…More hypocrisy and morally bankrupt self-righteous garbage from the Left.
Via Breitbart.
Left-wing pundits are slamming Donald Trump’s son for using the candy Skittles as a metaphor for Syrian refugees and terrorism — but just a few years ago, these same liberals were more than happy to use bite-sized candy as an illustration of “rape culture” in the U.S.A.
Starting Monday night, the left went wild when Donald Trump, Jr., posted a graphic that stated, “If I had a bowl of skittles and I told you just three would kill you. Would you take a handful?” The image then turned the point to the current crisis saying, “That’s our Syrian refugee problem.”

Liberals immediately went after Trump, Jr., saying he was callously comparing human beings to a candy. Just as quickly, the media joined in the attack….
But this idea was far from scandalous in 2014 when the feminist left used this same analogy in a very similar context.
Using the chocolate candy M&Ms instead of Skittles, the social campaign dubbed #YesAllWomen used the exact same analogy to whip up sympathy for women — that their interactions with men are always dangerous because of the few who are abusers or rapists.
A common #YesAllWomen meme posted to Twitter, YouTube, and other social media platforms read: “You say not all men are monsters? Imagine a bowl of M&Ms. 10% of them are poisoned. Go Ahead. Eat a handful. Not all M&Ms are poison!”
The argument even found approving coverage at Slate, which — you guessed it! — went after Trump hard….
And some left-wing bloggers seem to be picking up on this trouble with their narrative. The feminist site Bustle tried to get ahead of the #YesAllWomen-Trump comparisons on Tuesday, pushing some revisionist history about the meme — that it was always flawed (even though nobody on the left said so two years ago)….
