How do Republicans reconcile the contradiction? They don’t. In fact, they apparently hope the disconnect goes unnoticed.

You're warned.
note that her guest, David Cay Johnston, brings up that DJT might just be the source of that 2 page Tax Form which is missing all the info on WHERE his income came from.
Note also, as you view the video, that this show aired before Trump and the GOP RAMMED THROUGH their only meaningful legislation in four years...that's right...the 2017 Tax 'Reform' Bill that bent over backwards to ease the tax burden on the wealthiest Americans, along with corporations so that many of them could continue paying ZERO taxes.
Again, as Trevor Noah stated recently...it is a "Blessing" that we have a Free Press in this country...Thank You, Rachel and Mr. Johnston.

of self satisfaction hit a high it hadn't seen. The percentage gain on low earners wasn't great but it was more than the high earners.
They did say the source is important, correct?
claimant...let's get to the truth.

"In her ruling, Bashant wrote that even though Maddow used the word “literally,” she “had inserted her own colorful commentary into and throughout the segment, laughing, expressing her dismay (i.e., saying ‘I mean, what?’) and calling the segment a ‘sparkly story’ and one we must ‘take in stride.’ For her to exaggerate the facts and call OAN Russian propaganda was consistent with her tone up to that point, and the Court finds a reasonable viewer would not take the statement as factual given this context. The context of Maddow’s statement shows reasonable viewers would consider the contested statement to be her opinion.”"
That was in response to a Defamation suit brought against her for comments made about OAN's material...it was for that situation only and doesn't invalidate her reporting with David Cay Johnston on the gaps/missing info, in DJT's "leaked" tax form, which at face value seemed to paint a favorable picture of him. She, and Mr. Johnston informed the public that there was a great deal missing from that leak which could shed a different light on it...and given that DJT has fought constantly to not do what all other modern Presidents have (i.e. release their FULL tax returns), it was an example of our "Free Press"...both broadcast and print...doing their jobs.
answer me this. Why does every other politician gain wealth while performing public service while Trump's personal wealth fell while he was in office. Bernie owns three houses and he came in with nothing. Obama owns a $14 million dollar estate on Martha's Vineyard among his white elite friends. Biden with no talent and from a middle class supposedly has had a full spigot of money flow to him.
