As many of you have pointed out the "press" would never treat Cheato like that

I am so sick of the double standard. And one thing that really pisses me off is that the talking heads, even on the "liberal" networks will not criticize their collegues for their behavior towards President Biden tonight. Did the questioners even address him as President as they ALWAYS did with cheato? I am sick and disgusted.

They know Democrats will not shut out the media just because they get asked tough questions. But rethugs won't give any access unless the media only asks the questions the rethugs hand them on a cue card, and they won't show up unless they are allowed to pontificate unchallenged by the host.

Trump would have met them next to the helicopter and pretend not to hear... Trump didn't do many press events.

...Trump was never brave enough to allow all press members to ask him questions. He chose who had access to him. He'd melt into a gooey little Cheeto turd puddle of he ever had to take a fraction of what dems answer to.

Dems aren't afraid like that.
