Sen. Tommy Tuberville posted a video Thursday encouraging Americans to get the COVID-19 vaccine, saying it’s “safe, effective, and free.” New York Times Washington correspondent Maggie Haberman — who while working for Politico “never disappointed” the Hillary Clinton campaign when asked to “tee up stories for us” — says Tuberville’s video is notable, seeing as Donald Trump, who’d like to take credit for development of the vaccine during his term, has declined to take such a step.
Notable. The former president, who wants credit for the vaccines developed during his presidency, has declined to take such a step. https://t.co/fk3mdaHKoA

He said he took the vaccine and said he wanted people to take it less than a week ago.
You guys set these little checkpoints and demand he meets them.
Here's one for you: Stop lying.

Trump has said in numerous interviews, speeches and statements that he encourages everyone eligible to get vaccinated. You don't report any of his statements so perhaps that's why people still believe the media lies
— Steve o/b/o Patrick 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 (@rhainman) June 10, 2021
And this is the Washington correspondent for the country’s premier newspaper. All we’ve been asking of the media is to tell the truth, but that’s too big a request.

Update:
Trump, who’s been banned from Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, didn’t do a PSA so it doesn’t count.

In an interview. Is that a PSA? Yes/no? https://t.co/gyl1QJBZwO
— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) June 11, 2021
I think going on national television, having been vaccinated, and encouraging others/supporters to do so counts as promoting the vaccine. I’d love for him to do more, but I’m glad he did this & glad for operation warp speed.
— Guy Benson (@guypbenson) June 11, 2021
I understand. But I was making a specific point about a PSA – something former presidents all did together – and I suspect you knew that.
— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) June 11, 2021
This is amazing. He didn't recommend people get the vaccine on OUR terms, so it doesn't count. Just an incredible hill to die on. https://t.co/sHARLMBqiE
