As the 2024 campaign heats up, a network’s evening newscast deems it appropriate to cover the president’s cognitive decline. Not the sitting president, though, but his predecessor.
Watch as ABC correspondent Rachel Scott hits a twofer by working two time-tested classics, “Republicans seize” and “Republicans pounce”, into her coverage of former President Donald Trump’s slip-up where he claimed Nikki Haley was in charge of Capitol security on January 6th:
RACHEL SCOTT: Haley insisting Trump and President Biden are just too old for the job. And she's seizing on this moment. Trump confusing her with Nancy Pelosi when talking about January 6th.
DONALD TRUMP: Nikki Haley is in charge of security. We offered her 10,000 people, soldiers, national guards, so- whatever they wanted.
SCOTT: Haley pounced.
