Former first lady Jill Biden accused the media of applying a “double standard” in its coverage of her husband, former President Biden, when compared with President Trump.
While promoting her memoir last month, the former first lady was asked during a Q&A session about media coverage during her husband’s presidency. She said the former president would have been “excoriated” had he been responsible for much of what is happening under the current administration.
“You know, if Joe would have done any one of the things that are occurring now, I mean he would have been excoriated,” she told “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg, who moderated the discussion.
“But, you know, it’s just there, it’s like there’s a double standard. And that I don’t think is fair or was fair,” Biden added.
The former first lady also suggested the Biden administration could have done more to build stronger relationships with reporters at the time, saying she regretted not engaging with the press as much as she could have.
“Maybe we could have done more to reach out to the press to be more open so that they understood us as real people and not sort of these figureheads,” Biden said. “That’s one thing I do regret, that maybe we could have formed closer relationships.”

She must have missed the ABC Sunday morning show today.
See you next Tuesday.
Dr. Jill misses running the country.
She’s right about the double standard...just not in the way she thinks.
“excoriated”— ask Joe if he can spell or knows that word.
Hunter Biden for President
The press that hid his dementia and made up terms like cheap fakes to gaslight us all to protect Joe? Sure, okay Jill.
Like we don’t know there’s a double standard.
LOL LOL..the commie media PROTECTED her corrupt brain dead husband for FOUR YEARS..they knew he was NOT the President, they banked on it..they threw his sorry ass in a closet, connected a catheter to his bladder, and threw him some bread every now and then to keep him “Alive” while they imported 40+ million illegals to fulfill their agenda to transform America into a rat hole her ass needs to be behind bars along with her husband and the rest of his corrupt administration
Hate that, but that’s what her son, HUNTER, called her......UGH!!!
Cognitive dissonance, I believe it’s called.
Otherwise, bat-shit crazy leftist clown works too.
She should be more furious at the comparisons between her and the black tranny that preceded her.
As if there were any comparison between President Trump and Mr. Potato Head...
Double standard? If the press had reported the truth about Joe Biden, he would’ve been thrown out of politics long ago and Jill would never have been put on the pedestal that she demonstrably has grown so accustomed.
Your husband has dementia Jill. You hid him in the basement. When he came out spoke he looked dazed and confused. The media said nothing.
Trump is out there everyday, traveling the globe, making speeches and all the media does is comment on his health.
She is right. There is a double standard.
Spits coffee out of his mouth and teleports to the other side of the room and catches it in his mouth and swallows.... you don't wast good coffee but DAMMMMMMMMM!
