The Daily Beast got a scoop that may show that the Biden campaign is very worried about the damage being done by the Ukrainian scandal:
Joe Biden’s presidential campaign made an extraordinary request to executives of top news channels on Sunday, asking them to no longer book Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, on their programs.
In a letter addressed to the heads of the major news and cable networks, as well as top news anchors, two top Biden campaign advisers make the case that by peddling routine falsehoods about the work of Biden and his son Hunter in Ukraine, Giuliani’s presence on the airwaves is editorially untenable.
Of course they would say that Giuliani is lying, but maybe it’s more than that. Maybe they’re seeing these polls of Liz Warren catching up to Biden in the polls and beating him:
“We are writing today with grave concern that you continue to book Rudy Giuliani on your air to spread false, debunked conspiracy theories on behalf of Donald Trump. While you often fact check his statements in real time during your discussions, that is no longer enough. By giving him your air time, you are allowing him to introduce increasingly unhinged, unfounded and desperate lies into the national conversation,” the letter from top aides Anita Dunn and Kate Bedingfield reads.
“We write to demand that in service to the facts, you no longer book Rudy Giuliani, a surrogate for Donald Trump who has demonstrated that he will knowingly and willingly lie in order to advance his own narrative,” the letter continues.
I mean, what are they thinking? They’re gonna keep airing Giuliani and even if they were successful in keeping him off everything else he would be on Fox News and Onan network all the time. They could be panicking right now.
And I think Trump might do better against an extremist like Warren than he will against Biden….
