The media are freaking out over Trump’s Cabinet picks, because the freakout machine must be kept humming. But you can see the wheels turning there. If you’re a liberal Democrat, they assume you’re automatically qualified and super-intelligent. Because you're a liberal Democrat.
Several Biden appointees lacked experience in their cabinet roles: Xavier Becerra didn't have a health-care background, Alejandro Majorkas didn't have national security resume, Jennifer Granholm had no energy experience, and Mayor Pete Buttigieg wasn't a transportation whiz. The media engaged in zero freakouts over this, but now the anchors assert these people were vetted robustly.
From Pete Hegseth and Tulsi Gabbard to Matt Gaetz and Robert Kennedy Jr., the left-wing networks and newspapers saw nominees disqualified by ideology or inexperience or allegations of sexual assault. The media and their Democrat pals aren't really vetting the picks as much as attempting to ruin them to cause scandal among Republicans.
On Sunday, NBC Meet the Press host Kristen Welker threw a Democrat talking point at Sen. Markwayne Mullin, Republican of Oklahoma. Welker said: “Senator, it’s worth noting there’s absolutely no evidence that President Biden had anything to do with the federal charges brought against President-elect Trump.”
Fact check: False. Years ago, The New York Times reported that Biden was unhappy that Attorney General Merrick Garland was moving so slowly. Surely, that message could be received indirectly if the orders weren't direct. We're all sick of reporters when they claim there's "no evidence" of Democrat wrongdoing. Every Republican should respond to this with: "No evidence? Did you spend any time looking for evidence?" Let's guess no.
