AOC says TV networks have an ‘ethical obligation’ not to air Trump’s election speech

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has called on major television networks not to air President Donald Trump’s upcoming prime-time address on election security, according to a new report from The Independent. The New York congresswoman argued that media outlets have an ethical obligation to protect the public from platforming unverified claims.

Scheduled for Thursday at 9 p.m., the address comes as the White House pushes the SAVE America Act ahead of the November 2026 midterms. The administration has billed it as a speech on election security, though Axios and MS NOW report Trump may also discuss newly declassified intelligence related to alleged foreign interference in the 2020 election.
