Anita Dunn, a former top adviser to President Biden, recently spoke out in a striking interview where she criticized both Democratic Party leadership and the mainstream news media for what she described as 'horrible' attacks against President Biden.
In the interview with Politico, Dunn discussed the fallout from a presidential debate earlier this year, which led to Biden being replaced on the ticket by Vice President Kamala Harris. She mentioned that while the debate itself wasn't catastrophic in terms of voters, the aftermath was critical.
Dunn highlighted that the debate did not result in significant movement in the polls, but what followed were 24 days of relentless negative attacks on Biden, which she attributed to his own party and the press.
She pointed out that there was a pervasive negative press atmosphere after the debate, exacerbated by leaders of the Democratic Party making public statements. Dunn specifically mentioned former Speaker Nancy Pelosi going on TV multiple times following the debate as an example.
When asked about potential tensions within the Biden camp, Dunn emphasized the importance of focusing on winning the upcoming election and preventing Donald Trump from returning to office. She alluded to internal tensions within the campaign, with reports of Biden family members considering Dunn's dismissal due to her advice for Hunter Biden to maintain a low profile.
The interview shed light on the internal dynamics and challenges faced by the Biden campaign, as well as the broader criticisms of how the Democratic Party leadership and media have handled the aftermath of key events like the presidential debate.
