“Now is also not the time for Democratic candidates to celebrate, to brag, to predict the outcome of the legal cases,” MSNBC host Jen Psaki said.
The MSNBC host encouraged Democrats to stay out of it and keep their heads down with regard to the indictment news.“Now is also not the time for Democratic candidates to celebrate, to brag, to predict the outcome of the legal cases. If you can, I’d actually just put your head down and stay out of it for now,” she continued.Psaki said it was “good politics” to avoid commenting on the indictment.
“If you’re sitting in the White House right now, you are making the right bet that the public cares a whole lot more about what the president is doing to actually make their lives better than what he thinks about a hush money payment to adult film star. It turns out their intended campaign message, the Biden team’s, of competence versus chaos may actually even play out before he enters the race.
Psaki noted a poll that found 90% of Republicans, 70% of Independents and nearly 30% of Democrats believed the Manhattan District Attorney’s case against Trump was politicized and said that it “didn’t matter” that it was based on the “phony claims of leading Republicans.” Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki urged Demcorats to not “celebrate” former President Donald Trump’s indicment.AP Photo/Evan Vucci, File
“But the thing is, there is absolutely nothing to gain by adding more fuel to that fire. So if you want to say something, if you feel you have to say something, stick with the frame that has been in the statements of a number of democratic leaders. One, no one is above the law, that’s how our country works. Two, Trump will be able to avail himself of the legal system. And three, there should be no intimidation and any protest should be peaceful,” she said.
