I am SO tired of hearing this from the blind idiotic liberals. Are they truly truly THAT stupid? Are they just ignoring them and going https://i.imgur.com/DaTGZI7.gif ? They were so obvious.
Of course you would expect to hear it from the dolts on The View. So I'll post just one on that side, then the facts of some of them, and not even all of them. There are SO SO many others saying the same as this idiot.
Joy Behar? All rolled into one she is about 40 idiots in one. One of the stupidest women on any type of TV. Troof!

The View Hosts Berate Meghan McCain, Insist Obama Admin Was 'Completely Scandal-Free'
While lately co-host Meghan McCain agrees more than disagrees with her liberal peers at The View, Tuesday that changed when the Republican got into a shouting match with three of her co-hosts over a very familiar argument: the idea that the former administration was untainted by scandal.
The topic got brought up during a discussion on a report claiming 25 officials within the White House were given security clearances despite being “denied” or not being worthy of them. Co-host Abby Huntsman pointed out that Republicans would be all over this story had it happened under Obama. That drove Joy Behar to point out that Obama was “scandal-free.”
“And none of this happened in the Obama -- the minute people say if this was Obama. Nothing like this even remotely close ever happened in that administration. Completely scandal-free!” she gushed.
Meghan McCain started cracking up, which prompted Behar to ask, “Do you know a scandal? Can you name a scandal?” McCain declined, saying she didn’t want to get in an argument. But after Behar kept pressing, she dove right in.
“The Iran deal. Number one. I mean, billions of dollars in unmarked bills in the middle of the night given to Iran," she began.
“That was their money!” Behar countered. McCain kept deflecting, getting back to the topic of conversation when co-host Ana Navarro stepped in to defend Obama.
“I'll give you an Obama scandal. He wore a tan suit. Michelle showed her arms. And he ate Grey Poupon! That’s it!” she gushed. This is a debunked claim from the left and one the liberal hosts have made before. That bait finally got McCain who went into a tirade about how much she hates Trump but that liberals paint a rosy picture of the Obama administration:

The Seven Most Undercovered Obama Scandals
Donald Trump hasn’t even been sworn-in yet but the liberal media has obsessed almost over every Trump tweet and controversy. Conversely, Barack Obama’s administration has been full of scandals and gaffes but liberal reporters have insisted that his record is clean as a whistle.
Former NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw, after Obama’s January 10 farewell speech gushed: “He’s been scandal free, frankly, in the White House. We haven’t had that what for a while.” Time magazine’s Joe Klein, back in December declared there has been “absolutely no hint of scandal” during his eight years. And in 2013 reporters first took up this line when the GOP Congress began investigating the myriad of scandals from Obama’s first term. At that time ABC’s Jon Karl noted that this was “a White House that takes pride in being scandal-free.” NPR’s Steve Inskeep asserted “This administration has been described, I don’t even know how many times, as remarkably scandal-free,” and Time’s Rana Foroohar noted “the President has been very rightfully proud of the lack of scandal in his administration so far.”
These liberal reporters have the audacity to bless this administration as scandal free, because many of Obama’s controversies were either ignored or barely reported by the establishment media.
The following is a look through the MRC’s archives at some of the worst scandals and gaffes made during the Obama administration and how they were underreported at the time:
IRS Targets the Tea Party
After a partisan report in June 2013 absurdly suggested that progressive groups were just as likely to be scrutinized as conservative ones, ABC, CBS and NBC essentially abandoned their coverage of the IRS targeting scandal. After producing 136 stories on their morning and evening news show during the first seven weeks of the scandal, broadcast news coverage dried up, with just 14 more reports over the next 10 months, as the Big Three ignored numerous damning developments in the case.
During the seven weeks after news of the scandal broke (from May 10, 2013 through June 28, 2013), the ABC, CBS and NBC morning and evening newscasts churned out a respectable 136 stories about the IRS targeting of Tea Party groups. After that, an MRC study shows, broadcast network coverage dried up. From June 29, 2013 through April 30, 2014 — a span of more than ten months — those same programs aired just 14 stories that even mentioned the IRS scandal. And, most of those were brief or inconsequential references that shed no light on the activities of either the IRS or the Obama administration.
....
Fast and Furious Scandal
In 2009, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) launched “Operation Fast and Furious,” which permitted thousands of guns to be illegally sold in the hope of tracking the weapons as they made their way up the ranks of Mexican drug cartels. In December 2010, one of those weapons was used to kill U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry.
In a Republican administration, such incompetence and stonewalling would likely have been a major story. Yet ABC’s World News and the NBC Nightly News acted as if the scandal did not exist, never once mentioning it on their evening news programs in 2011. CBS Evening News ran a dozen full reports in 2011 exposing various elements of the scandal, thanks to then correspondent Sharyl Attkisson.
...
VA Scandal Gets Less Coverage Than Local New Jersey Story
On May 22, 2014 the MRC’s Scott Whitlock reported that in nearly four and a half weeks, the ABC, CBS and NBC morning and evening news shows have offered 110 minutes to Obama administration scandal involving secret lists designed to keep veterans from receiving proper medical treatment. Back in January 2014, it took those same network shows just four and a half days to churn that much coverage for Chris Christie's Bridgegate.
When the VA story broke on April 23, 2014 with news as many as 40 veterans seeking treatment at one Phoenix facility died while on secret waiting lists, CBS provided the most coverage, 48 minutes and 46 seconds. NBC allowed 44 minutes and 53 seconds and ABC came in last with a scant 16 minutes and 44 seconds. None of the networks bothered covering the story until May 6, 2014 almost two weeks after it broke. (This is despite heavy investigative reporting by Fox News and CNN.)
...
Relying on “Stupidity of the American Voter” to Pass ObamaCare
Just imagine the reaction of the liberal media if a video had surfaced of a George W. Bush administration official admitting that “lack of transparency” was “a huge political advantage” in selling the Iraq war and that they relied on the “stupidity of the American voter” to launch an attack on Iraq? That video would be everywhere.
However, the clip of ObamaCare architect Jonathan Gruber using those exact phrases in talking about the passage of the Affordable Care Act wasn’t reported until six days after the video had surfaced, on the November 13, 2014 CBS This Morning. It took nine days for ABC and NBC to finally arrive on the Gruber story on the November 16 ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos and NBC’s Meet the Press. Most stunning however was NBC Nightly News’ treatment of the Gruber scandal.
