Consultant Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) defined to Jake Tapper that Trump will not be a traditional candidate however a prison who plotted a home terrorist assault.
Tapper requested Consultant Ocasio-Cortez how all these prison circumstances towards Trump seem to an impartial voter and he or she replied:
Has there ever been a Republican or Democrat president who has been topic to this degree of prison expenses, indictments and investigations. It isn’t about occasion, it’s not about politics, it’s about corruption and criminality. We're speaking a couple of man who primarily ordered a terrorist assault on the USA Capitol to retain energy, this isn’t about being a Republican.
It's not about being a Democrat. It’s about being immoral and an individual who’s topic and liable to crime. And sadly, I, that is the scenario we're in and I actually suppose the truth that that is occurring in so many locations and so many jurisdictions is counterproductive. It's not simply New York, it's Georgia, it's federal courts.

AOC was proper. The media can’t be allowed to place Trump within the typical candidate field, as Jake Tapper did along with his hypothetical query.
Voters will not be selecting between two generic candidates. The election is between a traditional candidate and a candidate who can't cease partaking in prison habits and incited a home terrorist assault towards the Capitol to remain in energy.
The 2 candidates will not be alike.
Trump instigated a violent assault towards the USA the place individuals had been injured and misplaced their lives. This isn’t politics as normal, and the media must get out of its behavior of attempting to normalize Donald Trump.
