This is the asymmetry in our politics and media. If this was the other way around, Biden had pardoned someone then charged with trying to kill Trump, it would be the biggest story in America and every Republican commentator, congressman, news outlet, would be screaming about it in unison.

Trump hasn’t mentioned my hometown of St. Louis when he talks about crime. It’s almost always in the top five list for murders per capita. It’s also losing a larger share of its population than any other U.S. city. It’s in a deeply red state with extremely loose gun laws. 🤷🏼♀️
