'The Daily Show's massive tweet thread makes the GOP's hypocrisy perfectly clear

They make a pretty good case.

Being alive during the 2016 election meant being nearly constantly reminded that Hillary Clinton mishandled classified information. The emails! You couldn't check social media, watch TV, open a newspaper, or speak to most relatives without being reminded of it.

Now, the Washington Post has reported that Donald Trump disclosed highly classified information to Russia during a White House meeting, a meeting that no American press was allowed to attend.

Suddenly, Republican senators don't have a lot to say about mishandling of classified information.

But The Daily Show certainly hasn't forgotten those months of vitriol we collectively had to endure, so they conveniently compiled a "Best Of" thread, highlighting all the tweets from GOP members calling Hillary Clinton "unfit" for the presidency. For doing the thing that Trump just did, but kind of way worse on his part.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy as waves of hypocrisy wash over us all.

Now, people will say many things on the campaign trail to get their candidate elected, valid or otherwise. But with matters of national security at stake, maybe it's like... don't cry wolf so much, you know?
