Do you ever wonder how the cards are stacked against President Trump? PBS NewsHour played its hand last Friday, revealing a well-practiced tactic – the targeting of prospective Trump VP picks, painting his quest for loyalty as a threat to democracy. But let us examine this claim closely, shall we?
Lisa Desjardins, a congressional reporter, launched into a discussion attempting to probe what President Trump might look for in a vice-presidential partner. Loyalty was tagged, almost mockingly, by her as a prime factor. To cement her claim, PBS aired a montage of four potential Trump choices fielding a barrage of loaded questions from liberal journalists. The line of questioning centered around a single theme – an audacious suggestion that the 2020 election was skewed in President Biden’s favor. The evidence is compelling, from Big Tech’s attempt to muzzle the Hunter Biden controversy to the election-law oddities in Pennsylvania in 2020.
Instead of a level-headed conversation on American democracy, Desjardins focused on pitting Republicans against an as-yet unproven Biden victory and pondering over Trump’s fair chances in the 2024 run, all the while overseeing the Democrats’ ongoing campaign to debilitate him legally.
When Republicans were quizzed about the authenticity of the upcoming election and the previous one, they presented a united front. Senator J.D. Vance asserted his confidence in Trump’s victory, provided fairest election practices were in place. Senator Marco Rubio echoed this sentiment, asserting that any unfair election outcomes would be duly contested.
Their remarks were met with leading and directed questions, emphasizing the Democrats’ notorious historical trend of rejecting Republican victories since 2000. Despite being put on the spot, the Republicans were unified in their assertion that the 2020 elections were marred by Democrats altering laws and practices at the final minute.
These carefully crafted public hints suggest that Trump’s potential VP picks are up for the challenge, contrary to PBS’s narrative of “damaging denialism.” The mainstream media may be questioning Trump’s preference for a steadfastly loyal vice-president, but it’s nothing out of the ordinary. Is Kamala Harris not exceedingly devoted, or is that a privilege reserved for Democrats?
Truth be told, the PBS NewsHour segment downplayed the very real concerns that had been voiced over election integrity, repackaging them as a threat to “democracy.” Weigh the evidence. Seek the truth. The future of America depends on it.
