Former Sinclair Broadcast Group commentator, republican strategist and former special assistant to the president Boris Epshteyn tweeted Wednesday video of a protest in Portland, Oregon this month, claiming that “This would be Joe Biden’s America.”
In reality, it was Donald Trump’s America.
This would be @JoeBiden’s America.

“It’s a very scary place,” Epshteyn commented over the video of protestors advancing on a line of federal agents in camouflage.
Twitter immediately reminded Epshteyn about who was actually in the Oval Office when the event happened.

Some suggested Epshteyn should take the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, the mental acuity test Trump has been bragging about “acing.”
Epshteyn was fired from Sinclair Broadcasting in December 2019 after widespread outcry that Sinclair was requiring local station to politicize their news broadcasts by mandating they air commentary segments from Epshteyn and others.
