The NYT really owes it's readers an apology for this. Politicians make verbal stumbles like ALL the time and the NYT NEVER prints them. I remember many years ago at a protest, George Bush Sr. said "too bad they can't do this in Lenin Square in Moscow."
AOC’s biggest problem if she runs for president is that the white men who control our media ecosystem will not so much put a finger on the scale to stop her as an entire hand
it can be done (see: Zohran) but it’s going to be blatant and it’s going to be infuriating

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.
