After the Biden campaign hosted an event outside the courthouse where former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial is ongoing, a member of its communications team insists they are not talking about the substance of the case.
MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski pressed Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler about the venue. She noted she agreed with actor Robert De Niro and the Jan. 6 officers who attended the event and blasted Trump.
However, she said, “I’m just curious about the location. Last week, when the members of Congress showed up to support Donald Trump. I called it unbecoming of the office, they’re serving the people of their district… American citizens are not supposed to politicize a court proceeding.”
“I feel the same way about the campaign,” she continued. “Is there any concern about the campaign getting a little bit too close to these court proceedings? And could that backfire? Any concerns, looking back, was it a good decision?”
Tyler responded, “No, there’s no concern. This campaign is not speaking about the substance of the trial in any way shape or form.”
“What we are talking about… is the unique threat that Donald Trump poses to our democracy. And so a lot of the coverage of last has been focused on the stakes for him. But we’re making sure the American people understand the stakes for them,” he added.
