I mean, I’m all for criticizing Democrats, but this is a very easy claim to make and it could mean nothing at all. “Tom Hanks did not immediately respond to accusations of homicide.” Sounds damning but it doesn’t really tell us anything.
That’s kind of fair, but this is also not a story that just came out of no where. They’d been telegraphing this for days. Have someone ready with a statement. Or just someone who can speak well off the cuff without running a strategy meeting and a focus group. An organization that is fundamentally partially about messaging shouldn’t be unable to get their preferred message into a news story.
