Judge Jeanine Pirro, Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfeld completely demonized and trashed transgender Americans - portraying them as sexual predators lingering in women’s bathrooms. At the same time, they ignored a lawsuit filed against the company formerly run by Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Education that involved the sexual abuse of minor aged boys.

Donald J. Trump was lauded as a political genius for cosplaying as a minimum wage worker at a McDonald’s franchise while The New York Times published an audio interview of Gen. John F.

Wade, and how restrictive laws may shape future elections. It also reflects on the divisive rhetoric surrounding party unity and the misinformation fallout from the January 6th riots, contrasting the media portrayals of critical events.
