Much like Meet the Press, ABC’s This Week was forced to discuss the special counsel investigation into Hunter Biden’s multiple crimes. This of course wasn’t without their usual caterwauling about former President Donald Trump’s indictments and the one that’s reportedly coming up later in the week. New Yorker staff writer Susan Glasser huffed that America is living in Trump’s alternate reality.
“We are talking about well, it's a great benefit to him according to, you know, big story in the New York Times today that he's been indicted criminally, what? Three times and it looks like a fourth coming up this week,” Glasser bemoaned.
She then whined that “we're living in this warped distortion field of a Republican primary in which Donald Trump is stampeding.”
“Even in deep red states, there are solid majorities that don't think, you know, Donald Trump should be the President again, who defeated him in the popular vote in 2016 and in 2020 who support by actually record numbers abortion rights,” Glasser proclaimed.
Yet according to her, “We live in this world where it's somehow good that Donald Trump is a criminal defendant, but somehow bad electorally for the President that his son is being investigated for something that as far as we know does not directly concern Joe Biden.”
As NewsBusters Managing Editor wrote on Twitter in reaction to Glasser’s whining: “cope.”
That honestly seems like the most appropriate response to Glasser’s comments on This Week.
A woman from the same political party that thinks men can get pregnant, or that humans can control the global temperature, wants us to think Trump is creating an "alternate reality."
This is what we call gaslighting.

9:41:22 a.m. EasternSUSAN GLASSER: We are all somehow living in Donald Trump's alternate reality, right? We are talking about well, it's a great benefit to him according to, you know, big story in the New York Times today that he's been indicted criminally, what? Three times and it looks like a fourth coming up this week. Because we're living in this warped distortion field of a Republican primary in which Donald Trump is stampeding. It's a minority of a minority in the country, and so then you have something like these series of abortion rights referendum in the wake of the Roe v Wade decision.
JON KARL: Kansas, Ohio—
GLASSER: And you realize that in this country, even in deep red states, there are solid majorities that don't think, you know, Donald Trump should be the President again, who defeated him in the popular vote in 2016 and in 2020 who support by actually record numbers abortion rights, and yet we live in this world where it's somehow good that Donald Trump is a criminal defendant, but somehow bad electorally for the President that his son is being investigated for something that as far as we know does not directly concern Joe Biden.
