Joy Reid Panel Slams Media For Following Trump's Blame Game
Joy Reid took on the ridiculous claims by some that President Obama buried the news of the Russian hacks until after Election Day, based upon one tweet that the Twitter-President-elect sent out suggesting he did so.
If Russia, or some other entity, was hacking, why did the White House wait so long to act? Why did they only complain after Hillary lost?

With that one tweet, Joy notes, the entire narrative shifted from the hacks benefiting Trump to President Obama squelching the news of the hack.
Except, of course, he didn't. If anyone squelched it, it was Mitch McConnell, who refused to be a patriot and put power and party below his country.
As Kurt Eichenwald notes in his commentary, it wasn't a secret before the election. The news of the hack was buried under all of the furor over Trump grabbing women by the p*ssy, but it was still out there.
