Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) defined to Jake Tapper that Trump isn’t a standard candidate however a legal who masterminded a home terror assault.
Tapper requested Rep. Ocasio-Cortez about how all of those legal circumstances in opposition to Trump look to an Unbiased voter and she or he answered:
Has there ever been a president Republican or Democrat that has been topic to this stage of legal costs, indictments and investigations. This isn’t about celebration, this isn’t about politics, that is about corruption and criminality. We’re speaking about a person who ordered basically a terrorist assault on the Capitol of the USA in an effort to retain energy that, that isn’t about being a Republican.
It’s not about being a Democrat. It’s about being an unethical and particular person who’s topic and susceptible to criminality. And sadly, I, that is the state that we’re in and I really assume that the truth that it’s occurring in so many locations and so many jurisdictions cuts within the face of that. This isn’t simply New York, that is Georgia, that is federal courts.

AOC was right. The media can’t be allowed to put Trump into the conventional candidate field, as Jake Tapper did together with his hypothetical query.
Voters aren’t selecting between two regular candidates. The selection is between one regular candidate, and one candidate who can’t cease participating in legal conduct and incited a home terrorist assault in opposition to the Capitol in a bid to remain in energy.
The 2 candidates usually are not the identical.
Trump incited a violent assault in opposition to the USA the place folks have been injured and misplaced their lives. This isn’t politics as standard, and media must snap out of their behavior of trying to normalize Donald Trump.
