Personally, I hope they make it a mask optional event and let everyone in many hours in advance. Hope Trump shakes lots of hands. It’s your best play as a Republican
It's not just sophistry.
The mainstream media and left-wing politicians were openly supportive of the massive protests and BLM rallies. As President, Trump might be held to a higher standard than a random nobody on Twitter, but if the mainstream media and high-profile left wing politicians are supportive of the same dangerous behavior for their own causes, it's just as bad.
In fact, it's worse because this is a large group of people representing an ideology, rather than just one guy on the right who makes stupid decisions at times, that also happens to be President.
"Nobody is picking and choosing" is incorrect. The left already picked and chose when they stated how beautiful the protests and BLM rallies were. They can't go back on that choice unless they want to be huge hypocrites.
Period.
