‘They Have F*cked Up’: Liberal Pod Bros Snap At Biden Advisers For Accusing Them Of Being Obama ‘Operatives’

The co-hosts of “Pod Save America” tore into President Joe Biden’s advisers Friday for accusing them of being “operatives” for former President Barack Obama.

Co-hosts Jon Favreau and Dan Pfeiffer, who both previously worked for Obama, said advisers are accusing them and other prominent Democrats of influencing their party to oppose Biden’s reelection bid. Favreau, a previous head speechwriter for Obama, pointed to the Biden campaign telling MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that Obama is pushing for Biden to withdraw, and how the president is “deeply resentful of his treatment under the Biden staff.”

“Care to respond, my fellow elitist Pod bro?” Favreau asked Pfeiffer.

“I would say I tried to maintain a very even temper through this process,” Pfeiffer said. “I have not been fighting people on Twitter, I have stopped looking.”

The New York Times wrote in a Wednesday news analysis that all the Democrats turning against Biden, including the “Pod Save America” co-hosts, are those who either ran failed political campaigns or worked for elitists.

“In fact, Mr. Biden’s advisers have shrugged off many of the loudest voices against him. Julián Castro? Dropped out of the presidential race in January 2020. Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado? He ended his presidential campaign a month later. David Axelrod? The “Pod Save America” bros? They were President Obama’s aides, operatives who worked for a cerebral, cool-guy president and never understood the world according to the scrappy kid from Scranton,” the Times wrote.

“I find this situation very personally uncomfortable because we know all the people who work on those campaigns. They are friends of ours. It’s more infuriating because it explains why they have fucked up the response to this debate so bad. Because it’s not about Joe Biden. Is it not. Everything is now about Joe Biden. It’s ‘people are mad at him. They don’t get him. Me me me me me me me.’ And it’s about this election, which Joe Biden has said himself is the most important election of our time, that democracy is at stake. And we can have a good faith disagreement without doing this.”
