I’ve yet to see Trump apologize for literally any of the Queen’s English that he has butchered on an almost daily basis. Getting worked up over a mispronounced name is one of the weirdest things that Conservatives have had, given that they took “Let’s Go Brandon” and turned it into a dumb “in-joke” way of saying “Fuck Biden”. Also weird given how the “fuck your feelings” cult purposely dead-names people who are transitioning to suddenly start whining about getting people’s names right.
I believe they’re calling into question the standards that Republican supporters hold politicians to. If these statements by Biden are deplorable than why aren’t similar statements by Republican politicians treated the same way? They’re not saying Trump says bad things too, which would be irrelevant, they’re saying Trump said similar things, so shouldn’t those things be bad?
If one argues a politician must always pronounce someone’s name right, shouldn’t one dislike Trump making up names for everyone?
The mother is the one who was upset. It’s her kid. She’s going to take everything as a slight. Of course politicians are going to weaponize that but the mother isn’t a politician
As a side note that’s why we end up with politicians like Biden since any sane person wouldn’t want the constant scrutiny.
It mostly only counts as a whataboutism if the entity being compared to is not relevant in the conversation, but as the election moves closer to a Biden-Trump situation, I think the comparisons to Trump (as opposed to criticisms of Biden on their own) can no longer be said to be irrelevant.

Whataboutism

Also has nothing to do with article from what I can tell. Just a rant about nothing
Classic progressive whataboutism
Relevance?
