President Donald Trump drew the ire of liberal Democrats everywhere last week when he criticized a “stupid question” by ABC News’s Rachel Scott about the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. She posed the question to the president after an impromptu press conference on the location of the reflecting pool renovations after Trump’s presidential motorcade arrived, after driving over the surface of the drained reflecting pool. 

​Scott’s question focused on Trump’s decisions. Notably, similar questions by Scott do not appear to have been raised during former President Joe Biden’s term, during which gas prices reached record highs on June 14, 2022. Scott’s question was not sincere. It was agenda-driven, aiming to shame Trump. It’s reflective of the bias in the media and the duplicitous ways in which left-wing journalists advance their political agendas while appearing to merely ask questions.
