Byron York told Fox's Chris Wallace that Scott McClellan was "amazingly naive" to believe George W. Bush's 1999 campaign promise to bring bipartisanship to Washington being a "uniter, not a divider/"
York said, "I think the thing that distinguishes McClellan, he was amazingly naive in his belief that George W. Bush could bring us all together, which is why he comes to Washington."

According to a report from Politico, first daughter Ivanka Trump and those around her are being coy about her future as a political candidate as she prepares to leave the White House for Florida after her father, Donald Trump, lost his re-election bid to former Vice President Joe Biden.
Reportedly Ivanka is looking at primarying Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) after she and husband Jared Kushner set up shop at their pricey new Floria estate, but some campaign consultants are saying talking about running and then running successfully are two very different animals.
On Saturday, POLITICO reported that Senate Republicans are going into the second impeachment trial of outgoing President Donald Trump without holding a conference or strategizing the issue at all.
"The Senate GOP has not spoken as a conference for more than two weeks now, since Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell asked Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), who wasn't present, to explain his plans to challenge the election in a party conference call," reported Burgess Everett. "Since that Dec. 31 conversation, eight senators challenged the election results, the Capitol was overrun by pro-Donald Trump rioters and the president was impeached."
Joining a chorus of progressive critics disappointed by the direct payment provision of President-elect Joe Biden's new coronavirus pandemic relief plan, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib on Friday evening reiterated the need for two bills she has introduced that would aid Americans affected by the ongoing public health and economic crises.
Biden's $1.9 trillion proposal calls for $1,400 checks, the difference between the $600 that lawmakers agreed to in a recent relief package and the $2,000 sought by some Democrats for months. Though President Donald Trump backed boosting the checks on his way out the door, the increase failed to garner enough congressional support.
