Pam Shriver dragged into Donald Trump’s latest scandal as questions raised on the former President’s qualifications
ESPN commentator Pam Shriver defended the honor of her late husband and Donald Trump against false allegations.

Donald Trump and Pam Shriver
The American mainstream media has been relentless in its attacks on former President Donald Trump ever since he took office in 2017. One of the offenses involved Pam Shriver, a former tennis player, and current ESPN commentator, who defended Trump against accusations of cheating on his SATs.
The allegations came from Mary Trump, the former President’s niece, who wrote a tell-all book about her family that claimed Trump did not take his SATs to gain admission to the University of Pennsylvania, but instead had a man named Joe Shapiro take the test for him illegally. The accusation was that Trump cheated his way into U Penn.
However, Shriver, who was married to Shapiro before his death in 1999, stepped forward to defend her ex-husband and the former President against these allegations. In an interview with Fox News, Shriver stated that “It is absolutely false,” that Shapiro took the SATs for Trump. She went on to explain that Shapiro was a man of integrity who would never have done such a thing.
Shriver’s defense of Trump is notable not only because it is rare to see anyone in the mainstream media support or defend him, but also because she is part of a sports broadcasting network that is known for its left-leaning politics. ESPN has been criticized in the past for its biased coverage of certain political issues.

Pam Shriver Defends Late Husband and President Trump

It is worth noting that Shriver is not a public supporter of Trump, nor did she seem to have any political agenda in defending him. Instead, she is defending the honor of her ex-husband, who has been unfairly dragged into a political controversy.
This speaks to the larger issue of how the media treats Trump and his supporters – anyone who defends him is automatically seen as a partisan hack, regardless of their actual political beliefs.
In conclusion, the mainstream media’s bias against Donald Trump is nothing new. However, it is heartening to see someone like Pam Shriver step forward to defend him against baseless accusations. Her defense of the President should serve as a reminder that not everyone in the media is part of the same ideological echo chamber, and that there are still those who value honesty and integrity above political ideology.
