Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called out the media’s wild double standard in reporting Trump’s cognitive abilities (or otherwise) and totally nailed it
It’s hard to watch a video of Donald Trump and not notice his disturbing mental and physical decline. Hell, it’s hard to watch a video of Donald Trump, full stop.
That’s the point Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants to make when it comes to what we’re all seeing with our own eyes.
Here’s AOC talking to the double standard the media seems to be applying to coverage of Trump’s physical and mental stability vs. that of former President Joe Biden only a few years ago.
🚨 BREAKING: AOC just called out the media for spending years fixated on Biden’s cognition while barely touching Trump’s very real cognitive decline and escalating erratic behavior.
None of this is normal. And pretending it is, is journalistic malpractice. pic.twitter.com/QQHGwk81sZ

The impact continues to send shockwaves throughout both political parties.
On one side, the entire party had to realign behind a different presidential candidate. On the other side, Trump and his maga morons are holding the United States, and the rest of the world really, hostage to their close-minded beliefs.
AOC’s takedown brought out the applause on Twitter.

Well said, nobody can look at this dude and think he’s not declining

Exactly. Piers Morgan slaughtered Biden and his friends for not doing enough to get him retired.
Same Piers hasn’t once criticised Trump on his cognitive decline or mixed words or mistakes.
Sickening. They are not professional journalists.

It’s not ONLY journalistic malpractice, it’s wholly and entirely un-American and NOT how authentic patriots who love our country ‘operate’!

She seems pretty freaked out. A lot of them do, recently. I think they know how bad Trump’s health has gotten and everyone in DC waiting for it to explode.

The problem is the media doesn’t care what AOC says. Only what Tramp & MAGA want them to say.

The media was complicit it letting trump take office again. They wanted a someone who gave them ridiculous headlines every single fucking day instead of someone, Biden, who was doing the actual fucking work a president should be doing. https://t.co/383zT1GEx3

That’s what happens when billionaires control the worlds media, its their skewed agenda that gets pushed. Society has been dumbed down to such a level the majority can’t see it.

It’s crazy how the media keeps talking about Biden but ignores Trump’s real problems. This isn’t normal and pretending it is just shows how unfair reporting can be.
