Fortunately for Trump, there is running mate Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) knocking away all the charges, similar to what San Francisco offensive tackle Trent Williams does to passes from opposing quarterbacks.

This week’s Liberal Media Scream features two Sunday show hosts suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, ABC’s Martha Raddatz of This Week and NBC’s Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker.

While Harris and running mate Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) have avoided the Sunday shows, Vance and Johnson are regulars who like swatting away charges from moderators. On Sunday, they had their hands full.

Raddatz was obsessed with pressing Vance on Trump, questioning his statements, including claims that illegal immigrants had taken over apartment buildings in Aurora, Colorado. When she said it was just a “handful” of buildings, Vance signaled that he had enough.

“You seem to be more focused with nitpicking everything that Donald Trump has said rather than acknowledging that apartment complexes in the United States of America are being taken over by violent gangs,” he said.

Welker hit Trump for not revealing his health reports, even demanding his cholesterol report. That had Johnson suggesting that the public has bigger problems to consider.

ABC’s This Week:

J.D. VANCE: And, of course, President Trump was actually in Aurora, Colorado, talking to people on the ground, and what we’re hearing, of course, Martha, is that people are terrified by what has happened with some of these Venezuelan gangs.

MARTHA RADDATZ: Sen. Vance, I’m going to stop you because I know exactly what happened. I’m going to stop you. The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes, and the mayor said our dedicated police officers have acted on those concerns. A handful of problems.

VANCE: Only — Martha, do you hear yourself? Only a handful of apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs, and Donald Trump is the problem, and not Kamala Harris’s open border?

Americans are so fed up with what’s going on, and they have every right to be, and I really find this exchange, Martha, sort of interesting because you seem to be more focused with nitpicking everything that Donald Trump has said rather than acknowledging that apartment complexes in the United States of America are being taken over by violent gangs. I worry so much more about that problem than anything else here. We’ve got to get American communities in a safe space again.

NBC’s Meet the Press:

KRISTEN WELKER: Should he release the results of the cognitive test that he said …

MIKE JOHNSON: It’s unnecessary. He’s on display every minute.

WELKER: So you concede he didn’t release his medical records? You don’t want to know things like his cholesterol level, whether he’s dealing with any issue that we may not know about, if he’s going to be commander in chief? And he also said he would release cognitive tests, which he aced.

JOHNSON: Kristen, listen to your question.

WELKER: Should he release that?

JOHNSON: The American people — Kristen, the American people don’t care about the cholesterol level of Donald Trump. They care about the cost of living and the fact they cannot pay for groceries because Kamala Harris and Joe Biden’s policies have put them in that situation.

Brent Baker, vice president of research and publications for the Media Research Center, explained our weekly pick: “A wonderful display of why the press corps are held in such low regard. Journalists do indeed ‘nitpick’ Trump while missing the big picture of the border problem Trump is raising, which is a top concern of most Americans. And then they obsess over something that few care about that has nothing to do with the policies proposed by either presidential candidate.”
