Earlier this month, independent journalist Aaron Rupar gave fair warning that he’s “going to have no f***s to give this election cycle” because it’s a decision between democracy and authoritarianism. What was that supposed to mean? That he was going to keep posting out-of-context video clips? How is this any different?
The Biden-Harris campaign put out a statement Monday calling Trump “feeble, confused, and tired.” Rupar says that Trump is so confused that he thinks Andrew Cuomo is the current governor of New York, even though the clip he posted never mentions the name Cuomo.
did Trump just claim Andrew Cuomo is the current governor of New York? pic.twitter.com/XrJsMKIToQ

Fact Checking:
He was talking about Letitia James’ failed run for governor against Kathy Hochul.
Letitia James had challenged Kathy Hochul in the Dem primary in 2021, but dropped out shortly after that when her candidacy failed to draw attention/support.
Misleading post.

The White House solicits help from Rupar, who is too dumb to know Trump is talking about current NY governor Kathy Hochul https://t.co/roZnQWXQaW

Did I miss a clip? He indirectly refers to Cuomo, but I didn’t hear him say his name. Is there another clip?

Where’s the part of the clip where Trump mentions repeatedly that Cuomo is the current governor of New York?
So the strategy is to present Trump as an elderly man with a poor memory? Good luck with that.
