Multiple things can be true at once.
Donald Trump Jr. did a stupid thing. He took a meeting that should have been off the record but wasn’t. This kind of a thing happens, but normally it’s more covert.

But here’s a question for the media: Is it right or wrong for political campaigns to coordinate with other nations, ever, to affect our elections? Is there a gray area? Is it OK to coordinate with Canada, but not Russia?
President Donald Trump should have said in the campaign that he had a lot of business contacts with the Russians. He should have been up front with all of this. He could have been ahead of all the collusion talk.
The media continues to pretend to be unaware of Hillary Clinton’s collusion with the Ukraine. Supposedly learned people, like Joe Scarborough, act like they don’t know about the collusion that has taken place on both sides.
Trump Jr. was sloppy and the president should have told the truth from the start.
I’m a Conservative, but being Republican means nothing to me. I don’t subscribe to the letter “R” or the letter “D.”
The media needs to be understood for what they are, an arm for collusion. Why is it wrong for Trump to collude but not Hillary?
Trump needs to clean this up. And I want the press to step it up and be objective.
As always, please listen to the full audio clip for complete context.
