Neo-Nazi marches. 'Both sides' framing. This is who we are. But it doesn't have to be.

From 'Morning Joe' to CNN, the media normal-washes MAGA

Last week in Columbus, Ohio, a dozen or so people marched through the city waving Nazi flags and yelling racial epithets. Disturbing, to be sure, and a grim sign of the times. But almost as troubling was the reaction from CNN anchor Dana Bash. After airing a video of the march on Monday’s edition of 'Inside Politics,' she said it was unclear “which side of the aisle” these white nationalists came from.

Democratic leaders have been throwing pennies in a well since 2016, repeating the mantra “This is not who we are. This is not who we are.” At least it put a rosier sheen on the rising tide of bigotry and violence unleashed by MAGA. Aspirational thinking is healthy and admirable, but not in all cases. And in this case, it's also not particularly accurate because as the election results attest, this is who we are.
