An instance of how deep within the tank the mainstream media is for Donald Trump occurred on ABC’s This Week, when visitor Sen. Chris Van Hollen was talking concerning the deployment of troops in Washington, D.C.
Van Hollen (D-MD) mentioned:
All of it is a whole abuse of energy. It’s a manufactured emergency. When you wished to see an emergency in Washington, D.C., that was again on January 6, 2021, which President Trump didn’t factor to deploy the Nationwide Guard on time.
Right here, clearly, D.C. can do extra to scale back violent crime, as we are able to throughout the nation. However as you identified, crime in D.C. is at a 30-year low and a downward trajectory. So, that is all a chance for Donald Trump to play dictator in Washington, D.C.
As an alternative, he must be releasing, together with the Home Republicans, the $1 billion — $1 billion in cash that belongs to the individuals of D.C. that they’re holding that D.C. may use to rent extra police.

ABC’s Martha Raddatz felt the necessity to push again on the concept that Trump is abusing his energy, “Properly, let’s speak about that. You name it — you name it this energy seize that he’s — a transfer of a dictator. However the way in which the legislation is written, it seems he has the authorized authority. And Mayor Bowser conceded that. So, what’s the abuse of energy right here?”
Van Hollen (D-MD) defined:
The abuse of energy is claiming that that is an emergency. And everyone who’s watching what occurs is aware of that this isn’t an emergency in Washington, D.C.
So, he’s utilizing this technical provision within the legislation, however I might argue clearly, he’s abusing it to fabricate this — this emergency. And now he has 30 days by which he can act. At the moment, in fact, so as to proceed to behave, he wants Congress to increase it.
It’s not a tough idea. When a president makes use of a false pretense to train their energy, that’s an abuse of energy.
There isn’t a purpose for the mainstream media to query whether or not or not Trump is abusing his energy in Washington, DC.
Is there against the law emergency? No? Then, Donald Trump is abusing his energy by pretending that one exists.
The change on This Week, which airs on a community that settled a bogus lawsuit with Trump, demonstrates how the mainstream press has chosen to disregard Trump’s abuses of energy.
Fortunately, the American individuals haven’t bought out democracy, although the mainstream media appears to have.
