Ex-Biden Spox Calls BS On GOP Pundit Praising Trump’s Libertarian Convention Address in Punchy Exchange On CNN: He Got ‘Macheted’

Former Biden Communications Director Kate Bedingfield called B.S. on conservative commentator Scott Jennings for celebrating former President Donald Trump’s appearance at the Libertarian National Convention.

Trump was loudly booed throughout his speech Saturday night as he tried to appeal to Libertarian voters.

Jennings joined a growing number of Republicans hailing the former president’s speech, despite the obvious negative vibes.

On Sunday’s State of the Union with Dana Bash, Jennings said, “Trump going there this week — they are striking such a confident pose right now.” he continued:

JENNINGS: He goes to the Libertarians and tells them, “You want to keep getting your 3%, go ahead. Otherwise, come with me.” He goes to the Bronx and says, “I’m better than Joe Biden. I’m trying to build a party that’s inclusive of you.” I think all the places he’s going, they are striking this confident pose, and it’s a campaign unlike we’ve seen from other Republican candidates. I think it’s pretty confident, and they know they’re winning, and they’re trying to take advantage of that position.

BEDINGFIELD: Oh, see, I think it’s the opposite. I mean, traditionally, you’re not going to send your candidate into a place where you know he’s going to get jeered for 30 minutes. He also cut his speech short. I mean, he wasn’t enjoying it, he wasn’t loving it.

So, I know the spin from the Trump campaign has been, “We’re trying to go into non-traditional places and unite the country.” But, this, to me, I think, actually shows how concerned they are. They’re concerned about RFK Jr., they see him taking enough of Trump support in polls that they felt they had to send their guy in to, essentially, like get macheted at the Libertarian Conference because they’re worried about the support that RFK Jr. is getting.

Bedingfield added, “Don’t forget, he’s also in the Bronx because he’s on trial in Manhattan and tethered to New York. So, I don’t think that’s like such a strategic decision as it is a tactical one.”
