Rachel Maddow held nothing again as she lower by the media issues and false equivalences about Biden’s age.
Maddow stated:
I’ve to emphasize right here that Trump actually did use the phrase encourage. He didn’t say that america would sit idly by in case Russia invaded a NATO ally. He stated he would encourage Russia to go after one among our allies. He would encourage them. In different phrases, he would inform Russia to go take out one among our allies with the peace of mind that we do nothing to assist. That is taking place inside 48 hours of Putin telling a hand picked interviewer which international locations he thinks actually have had it coming and he’s bought one among them in NATO on the high of his listing.
However don’t neglect President Biden is three years older than that man. So clearly, there’s equally monumental threat in choosing both of those candidates to be president of america. One is clearly previous, and one can also be previous and dealing with 91 felony expenses and saying he’ll actually encourage Russia to increase its warfare to hit our allies.

These two candidates will not be the identical, and the danger will not be equal. The idea that the danger between electing Trump and electing his opponent was one thing that the media ran with in 2016, after which after getting Trump elected, they spent the following 4 years making an attempt to normalize probably the most corrupt and irregular presidency in American historical past.
If 2024 feels acquainted, and never in a great way, it’s as a result of the media is at it once more. The media is utilizing the candidates’ ages to make Biden appear to be the larger threat as an alternative of Trump.
Trump is dealing with 91 legal felony counts and has cognitiv issues, however the media by no means talks about these in its Trump protection.
Donald Trump can also be siding with Putin and different dictators. Trump has given Putin the inexperienced gentle to assault NATO, however no one in company media will talk about Trump as a worldwide risk to democracy.
Nope. The issue is that Biden is previous.
Trump can also be previous. Moreover, he’s harmful.
