'That's not honest!' Republican strategist flattened during fiery CNN panel

A GOP strategist was flattened for his attempt to defend Vice President JD Vance during a fiery CNN panel Sunday.

Brad Todd, a veteran political operative, argued during a CNN panel that Vance was right to cast blame on the Biden administration for the economic mess that currently exists under the Trump administration. Todd argued that there are some "intractable problems' that the administration is currently facing, and tried to point back to Biden as the source of those frustrations.

Todd's comments sparked an uproar on set, with New York Times journalist Lulu Garcia-Navarro interjecting, "That's not honest!"

"I struggle a lot with this idea that if only theycould get the message right, orif only there was the rightmessenger. The fact is that thepolicies have caused an enormousproblem in this country with theeconomy, and we know thatregular people look to the topand say, 'That's on you, buddy.'And that's what's happeningnow," she said.

GOP strategist Scott Jennings chimed in that Garcia-Navarro's argument could also be applied to why the Democrats lost the previous election, a claim that she did not deny. The difference, according to Garcia-Navarro, is that the Trump administration is trying to pin the blame on someone else.
