在 Joe Biden 擔任白宮總統的四年間,Donald Trump 及其右派媒體支持者屢次以他的年齡為由攻擊他,並聲稱「Sleepy Joe」在精神上不適合擔任總統。然而,MAGA 評論員卻對有關 President Trump 在會議中打瞌睡的報導視而不見。進步派廣播主持人 David Pakman 目前正批評右派媒體明顯的雙重標準。
在週二的節目中,Pakman 主張,Trump 展現出的問題「完全」就是共和黨過去四年拿來嘲諷和羞辱 Biden 的那一類。
Pakman 提到 Trump 週一在橢圓形辦公室與一名 16 歲救生員會面時說:「Donald Trump was photographed using a cheat sheet, the exact same type of cheat sheet that Joe Biden was using when they said it's proof that he's got dementia. And strangely, Donald Trump's card has not triggered the same diagnosis from Republicans.」
Pakman 指責右派媒體在知識上不誠實,並強調他們對 Biden 與 Trump 的報導存在巨大差異。
這位 42 歲、來自 Buenos Aires 的主持人對聽眾說:「This is exactly the type of thing that Republicans used to say Biden had dementia. The pictures would be circled in red. 'Biden needs pictures to know who he's with.' Fox News would be running it continuously, and right-wing influencers would be saying, 'Did Biden know where he was? Did Biden know who he was with?'」
Pakman 承認,總統使用「cheat sheet」「基本上算是流程的一部分」,並補充說,「一張有名字和照片的卡片並不能證明認知衰退。」
但這位廣播主持人認為,如果「cheat sheet」對 Biden 來說是問題,那對 Trump 也同樣是問題。
Pakman 告訴聽眾:「But if it did prove it about Joe Biden, according to these people, it must also prove it about Donald Trump. Right now, this gets to a bigger story, which is that during Biden's presidency, the right treated every glimpse of a note card as a medical emergency. They do not care about being two-faced. I actually think they get off on it. They love that they employ double standards. They say one thing about Biden if they think it will be beneficial to them, and then they just laugh when we go, 'Yeah, but Trump's doing the exact same thing.'」
Pakman 繼續說:「These are the very same people who attacked (former President Barack) Obama for golfing when he was president. And now, when Trump golfs, they go, 'Oh, well, but Trump's doing so much, he's doing business on the golf course and all of this stuff.'」
