Pelosi, to Trump, was the former opposition
leader in the House. To Biden, that would be Kevin McCarthy.
So let’s imagine together that last
Friday night, Joe Biden had been speaking at a campaign event and had said: “You
know, Marty Walsh, Marty Walsh, Marty Walsh…it was very disappointing the way
he criticized Trump privately on January 6 but then two weeks later went down
to Mar-a-Lago and posed for that picture. I was very disappointed in Marty.”
Of course, Haley was on Trump’s
mind because she’s running against him, not because she worked for him. Okay.
There’s a very clear equivalent there, too. Minnesota Representative Dean
Phillips is running against Biden right now. So, imagine Biden had said: “Now,
Dean Phillips, Dean Phillips, Dean Phillips…You know, we offered him a great
deal on the border last year, a very good deal. He refused. Refused. He was so
afraid of the right wing in his caucus. So, Dean Phillips, not my favorite.”
