'Denigrated Melania for YEARS!' Mollie Hemingway takes the media APART in brutal thread for insisting we call Jill Biden 'doctor'

It’s official. If we NEVER hear the ‘doctor’ argument/debate AGAIN it will be too soon.

Granted, it has given us a lot to point at, laugh, and write about but c’mon …

It's weird — I saw all of the Indiana Jones movies in theaters and I don't remember any guys yelling that he didn't deserve to be called "Dr. Jones" in any of them.

We’d rather call him Indy.

Fair point.

Doc Rivers, Dr. Phil, Doc Watson, Doc Holliday, Dr. John, Dr. Dre, Dr. Doolittle, Dr. J, Dr. Laura, Dr. Suess, Doc Severinson, Doc McStuffins, Doc Brown, Dr. Pepper… https://t.co/y3R8ubmQhn

Dr. Pepper.

Damn right.

Heh.

Mollie Hemingway’s short but savage thread sort of puts an end to the argument in our humble opinion.

Take a look:

The media that spent years denigrating Melania about everything imaginable is now going to rather absurd lengths to defend Jill — I'm sorry, DOCTOR Jill — against even light criticism. Like suggesting that her education degree is at least as good as Dr. Dre's *and* Dr. Pepper's https://t.co/u66zegobNF

Dr. Dre.

Good one.

Doctor?

Doctor.

Still relevant nearly 40 years later and OMG THIS EDITOR IS GETTING SO OLD.

My approach:

1. People even with *most* off-brand doctorates should be called 'Dr. so-and-so' as a courtesy
1a. Non-MD/PhD Biden-class doctorates should not insist on being called doctor
2. Media really turned "Dr. Jill Biden" into a parody of itself & deserves most of the blame
