It’s a challenging task but we here at NewsBusters are going to try to sift through all the crazy, angry and ridiculous observations made by leftist journalists every night of the Democratic National Convention coverage and pick one for Worst of the Night.

So without further ado, the Worst Media Outburst for Monday night goes to ABC World News Tonight Sunday anchor and upcoming presidential debate moderator Linsey Davis for linking Donald Trump to the KKK. 

In an interview with Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Davis claimed — without evidence — that Trump had a “connection” to a month-old KKK rally in Howell, Michigan because he was going to hold an event in the same town.

Anchor Linsey Davis: “Former President Donald Trump is expected to go campaign in Howell, Michigan tomorrow. Many people are aware that a month ago, in Howell, KKK protesters marched in the streets with the white robes on and suggested that they support Donald Trump. I’m curious if you make anything about that connection and him going in particularly to Howell tomorrow.”
Governor Gretchen Whitmer: “Well, you know, anyone who’s doing a little bit of research might have said ‘that’s really a bad idea, look at the optics.’ You’re showing up where the KKK was just at the same time you’re in Michigan. I mean, this is a— I think — a troubling strategy that we see from the other side to divide us and to scare us and to stoke fear and anger.
