A viral TikTok has resurfaced of a Donald Trump speech from 2016 in which he declared that a "sitting president under felony indictment and ultimately a criminal trial" would "grind government to a halt.” The former president was speaking about Hillary Clinton at a rally in North Carolina. The Democrat was not indicted and did not face a criminal trial over using a private email server during her time as secretary of state to Barack Obama.
So, it is really important to recall and reframe these statements. But I really hate “news” about old news “resurfacing”. Because it’s literally not news and hasn’t been for a long time.
It’s an expenditure of the outlet’s credibility to do the job of a different type of media. Even if I agree with it, I just expect The Independent to be slightly closer to a tabloid than a serious publication now. Let the DNC & pundits field this messaging.
Totally random social media person is another bridge too far.
Oh well, since it’s here anyway I hope it helps at least a couple people move their mindset forward.
It is news, it is put into context regarding a recent event that just occurred, Trump becoming a convicted felon.
