CNN and MSNBC have said the word "racist" more than 630 times since Sunday, according to a tally conducted by Grabien Media, an online media production and news prep service.
The count, which doesn't include on-screen graphics commonly known as chyrons, comes two days after President Trump in a Sunday tweet said four Democratic congresswomen — all U.S. citizens and members of minority groups — should "go back" to their home countries.
Just one of the four Democrats was not born in the United States, and Trump's remarks have been called out as racist by much of the Democratic Party and a handful of Republicans.
The House is set to vote Tuesday evening on a resolution condemning Trump's comments.
The fight has also been covered extensively on cable news, with anchors and guests breathlessly going over the battle between the president and lawmakers in Congress.Donate: PayPal.me/roccistucciRocci Stucci: StreamingTalkRadio.com
