Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Urges TV Networks Not to Air Donald Trump's Election Speech
Ocasio-Cortez said networks have an ethical duty not to air a speech that could repeat false claims about the 2020 election.
- On Tuesday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez urged television networks not to air President Donald Trump's Thursday address, stating networks have "an ethical obligation not to air things that undermine our elections that are not rooted in evidence and fact."
- Trump announced the prime-time speech Monday at 9 p.m., planning to use reexamined government files to argue election infrastructure has vulnerabilities and reportedly accuse Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock of being illegitimate.
- U.S. intelligence agencies concluded in March 2021 that no foreign interference altered votes in the presidential election, though China considered but rejected efforts to interfere. Election security expert Norden stated 98 percent of votes are on paper ballots subject to audits and recounts.
- Broadcast networks remained uncertain Tuesday about providing airtime, with the White House having made no formal request and plans remaining fluid. Senior Trump administration officials signaled the president may abandon claims about the Democratic senators.
- Most of Trump's recent election-related actions have been blocked or stymied in court, with judges affirming that states and Congress—not the president—control election administration. His 2020 pressure campaign on state officials preceded the current declassification efforts.
