Biden Campaign Official Accuses Media of ‘Election Interference’ in Biden Debate Coverage
Matt Funicello
A senior re-election campaign official for President Joe Biden announced that editorial boards and editorial writers are guilty of election influencing or interference during an MSNBC interview on Monday. Former Atlanta Mayor, now senior campaign advisor to Biden, Keisha Lance Bottoms lambasted editorial boards, accusing them of "influencing an election" by writing negatively about Biden.
Bottoms was specifically lashing out at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's editorial board when they criticized President Biden's debate performance and opined that he should step down as a candidate.
Bottoms falsely claimed that editorial boards like the Atlanta Journal-Constitution must "honor fair elections" and thinks that any criticism of Biden is somehow not honoring fair elections and is influencing or interfering in this upcoming election.
"Let me just say I was very disappointed with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution," she said. "We have talked about making sure we're protecting elections and making sure there's no undue influence, this was undue influence by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution or an attempt to influence."
Bottoms' comments seemingly show a growing concern in the Biden campaign that the media is no longer running cover for her boss after what the Atlanta Journal-Constitution wrote in their editorial regarding the debate and Biden's performance.
"This wasn't a bad night. It was confirmation of the worst fears of some of Biden's most ardent supporters. Biden deserves a better exit in public life than the one he endured when he shuffled off the stage on Thursday night."
