Anita Dunn, a former Biden adviser, is hitting out at the way the media and senior Democratic leaders like former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi handled the days after the president's poor debate performance.
Former top Biden adviser Anita Dunn is taking aim at Democratic Party leadership, as well as the mainstream news media, in a striking interview in which she accused them both of 'horrible' attacks against the still-sitting President Biden.
So Trump didn’t gain any ground in the debate whatsoever. And we actually picked up a few votes in the group. So it was a bad debate, but it didn’t feel catastrophic at all, certainly in terms of voters,' she said. 'And I think other people who did independent research saw roughly the same thing.
Clearly there were leaders of the party who decided to go ahead and go very public. And that gave permission to other people to go public,' she said. Dunn was asked if an example of that was when former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., went on TV twice in the days after the debate. 'Absolutely,' she said.
Dunn later side-stepped a question about whether Biden is still angry at Pelosi, as well as former President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. — while also taking another swipe at some in leadership. 'The task in front of us is to win this election and to not let Donald Trump become president again and to win the House of Representatives, which had certain leaders in 2022 done a slightly better job, maybe we would control today, but we don’t,' she said.
Dunn was asked about a letter sent by President Biden to lawmakers saying he wasn’t getting out of the race, which she admits backfired on some members. When asked if Hunter was involved, she said: 'That is not true.'
