Meet NBC's Henry Gomez, the latest laughingstock of the mainstream media

 
What we have here is further evidence of the growing irrelevance of network news, i.e., the 'clunky' dinosaurs otherwise known as NBC, CBS, ABC.

There are elegant attempts to appeal to voters, and there are clunky ones. In an NBC News report published Sunday, Americans were introduced to one of the clunkiest: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) effort to portray himself as an Ohioan in spirit.

From a political perspective, though, DeSantis’s challenge isn’t really that he’s claiming the swing-state of Pennsylvania only tangentially. It’s that his effort to claim kinship with voters in that region before a likely 2024 presidential bid is an attempt to claim kinship with a voting base that’s already nestled in Donald Trump’s pocket[emphasis added]

 

Sounds like cynical opportunism to Retiring Guy.

According to Merriam-Webster, the first-known use of 'clunky', as in clumsy in style, form, or execution, occurred in 1968.
