President Biden made several gaffes during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania, including mistakenly asking voters to send him to Congress and misstating the date of the Capitol riots.

Liberal journalists celebrated his SOTU performance, while conservative voices questioned his vigor and delivery style.
Senator Tim Scott criticized liberal media, including "Morning Joe" and CNN, for making "vile and disgusting comments" about him, asserting that most racists in the country are liberals. He accused the far Left of attempting to silence conservative voices and intimidate minorities who consider the GOP, but emphasized that he will not be silenced and encouraged others to stand up for conservatism. Hannity suggested that the attacks may be an attempt to intimidate or threaten Scott, to which Scott responded that the radical Left is indeed threatened by him and others like him.

Country music artists, such as Jason Aldean and Luke Combs, are facing backlash from liberal media outlets for their songs and performances that challenge leftist narratives. Aldean's music video, "Try That in a Small Town," received criticism for its portrayal of violence and patriotism, while Combs was criticized for covering a song by a Black queer woman. The shift towards a more left-wing agenda in Nashville has alienated traditional country music fans, who feel that the industry is out of touch with its core audience. Despite the controversy, country music continues to thrive and attract loyal fans.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis defended his wife, Casey DeSantis, after a liberal media panel mocked her as "America's Karen." DeSantis stated that his wife's strong advocacy for parental rights threatens the left, as her message resonates with parents across party lines. The panel on MSNBC's "Saturday Show" laughed and name-called Casey DeSantis, prompting her husband to argue that the critics are concerned about her effectiveness. Casey DeSantis is leading a national campaign focused on parental rights and aims to bring her husband's education agenda to the national level. Governor DeSantis believes that the media and the left target him because they know he can beat President Biden and deliver on key issues.
Casey DeSantis, wife of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, wore a jacket with the words "Where Woke Goes To Die" on the back, referring to the governor's campaign against woke ideology. However, the liberal media, including Katie Baker of the Daily Beast, twisted the statement to suggest that Casey was advocating for the death of woke people. Baker's column was described as vicious and vile, and Ron DeSantis called it a hatchet job. The unfair treatment of conservative politicians' wives by the liberal media is a form of hypocrisy, and Morgan argues that this is one reason why he wants woke ideology to go to Florida and die.
