‘Jesus Christ With the Gaslighting!’ Fmr. Biden Aide GOES OFF After Watching His Ex-Colleague Shill for the President on CNN

A former official in President Joe Biden’s White House sounded off after an ex-colleague went to bat for the commander-in-chief on CNN.

In a scathing post on X/Twitter, Michael LaRosa — former press secretary to the First Lady — raged in response to comments from former Biden White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield on CNN’s State of the Union. Appearing on a panel Sunday, Bedingfield argued that despite Biden’s debate performance, status quo has maintained in the presidential race.

“I think the reality is the race has not fundamentally changed,” Bedingfield said “I think there’s universal agreement [it] wasn’t a great night for Joe Biden. He said as much. But what we see in all the data that has emerged since Thursday is the fundamental, head to head hasn’t shifted. People are not suddenly moving to Trump.”

LaRosa called out his former colleague for “gaslighting,” “talking points,” and “spinning.”

“The data!? If there is data that counters the impact of what we all saw then WHERE THE HELL IS IT??? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WAITING FOR?? SHOW US! Jesus Christ with the gaslighting, the talking points, and the damn spinning. Enough already.

Show your supporters or the media this data so we can help you help him! You’ve told us for A YEAR that data and polling can’t be trusted … no one is paying attention … and all of the polling and data are unreliable. Are we NOW supposed to believe it? You’ve been undermining all of the public data and polling and attacking news outlets and their independent data for a year! Is it now safe to trust the data? Should we believe your data instead of independent media data and polling??? Ok, cool.

WHERE THE HELL IS IT?

Bedingfield responded to LaRosa in a post of her own on X/Twitter.

“Hi Michael,” Bedingfield wrote. “I am talking about the public polling that is available for all to see that shows that the head-to-head hasn’t moved since the debate. My view has always been that polls are a snapshot in time – they tell us where the race is now, not where it will be in Nov.”

The first major network poll to be released since the debate, conducted by CBS News and YouGov, did not provide promising data for the campaign. A whopping 72 percent of voters said that Biden should not run and lacks the necessary “cognitive and mental health” to be president. The poll did not ask respondents to weigh in on the race overall.
