Double Standard: Media’s Leniency Towards Trump
Thiessen and his co-author advocate for a Biden pardon of Trump, arguing that it’s necessary for national unity despite the numerous charges against him. This call, however, is viewed as a strategic move to further entangle Biden in Trump’s actions rather than a genuine effort at reconciliation. The authors’ prioritization of unity is expected to disappear once Trump regains power, mirroring past instances where similar calls for bipartisan cooperation were selectively applied to Democrats. This pattern suggests a cynical manipulation of the concept of national unity for political gain.
