Panel Erupts When Clinton Aide Accuses Trump Camp Of Peddling Racism
Clinton Senior Adviser Karen Finney added that Trump had tapped into “underlying cultural anxiety about change that we were not willing to do”.
Earlier in the day, there was a sense of good humor and mutual respect between the various campaigns (more than a dozen were represented).
The Democrats won a mandate to oppose Donald Trump’s extremist agenda.
Trump’s team, meanwhile, defended their candidate and their campaign. Frankly, to cut through the show business side of the rally, where Trump made these remarks in Delaware, Ohio-what Trump said is actually not unusual.
Trump’s favorable rating among independents, 39%, is also significantly worse than those of his predecessors.
These members of his inner circle, including Conway, believe that Romney “went out of his way” to hurt Trump. And now that commentary is even starting to trickle into mainstream outlets.
“There’s a difference to voters between what offends you and what affects you”.
She said the media spent a lot time on accusations against Trump but that his win reflected what Americans really care about.
The night ended with Tapper thanking the two campaign managers for going through yet another media interrogation.
“I’d also like to publicly thank Bernie Sanders for his effect on our campaign because he softened up Hillary Clinton”, Conway said.
“No, you wouldn’t. That’s very clear to me”.
Trump’s team touted its digital efforts and the Republican National Committee’s underrated ground game.
Emotions are still quite raw, especially on the Clinton side. He’s now back in the Trump fold after a stint at CNN. Let’s also be honest.
Conway had a simple retort.
Conway said that because he tweeted it, it was presidential behavior. “I mean, seriously, hold on”. Congress has got to investigate what happened with Russian Federation here.
At a dinner the previous evening, CNN chief executive Jeff Zucker was heckled during a panel discussion about the media by operatives from several losing Republican campaigns, who accused the network of showering Trump with free publicity.
At this point the discussion had grown extremely heated.
Some former Clinton aides have asked frustrated supporters to donate their dollars to what they view as more constructive causes, like state parties or the Democratic candidate in Louisiana, where a December 10 runoff will be the party’s last chance to pick up a Senate seat this year.
“I think that the biggest piece of fake news in this election was that Donald Trump couldn’t win”, Conway retorted. We’ll see how his base reacts.
President Obama said in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine that Fox News helped sway the election in favor of Donald Trump.
Palmieri said that Trump spoke to people in the country “to an underlying cultural anxiety about change in a way we were just not willing to do”.
Conway then shot back, “Are you going to look at me in the face and say I provided a platform for white supremacists?”
“Guys, I can tell you are angry, but wow”.
Palmieri: “It did. Kellyanne, it did”.
NBC’s Chuck Todd said that it sounds like Stein was talked into this-and most election analysts and data crunchers have noted that there’s nothing suspicious about the results in these three states.
Clinton consultant Mandy Grunwald had a darker interpretation, which she expressed in an icy backhanded compliment to the Trump team: “I don’t think you give yourself enough credit for the negative campaign you ran”.
During the election postmortem, Conway blamed Clinton’s defeat on her own flaws.
“Donald Trump said he will not try and send Hillary Clinton to jail”.
But they focused repeatedly on what they viewed as the destructive impact of FBI Director James Comey’s press conference and his two letters about the investigation into Clinton’s emails on her private server. She retweeted a message from AP Politics on December 1, 2016, stating: “He’s Your President”.
“You guys are punching down”.
