Nicolle Wallace mocks GOP as town halls go off the rails: 'Can't get out of their own way'
MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace showed clips of the recent town hall disasters for GOP leaders like Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY), who took Rep. Liz Cheney's seat in 2022. She noticed that even when Republicans try to blame Democrats, it doesn't go well for them.
She began with a clip of Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-CA), who tried to blame former President Joe Biden for not releasing the files around the investigation of accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
"'There's people in the files whose names need to be redacted' is not how you address a conspiracy theory deeply embedded in your own political coalition about names that have been hidden from public scrutiny," Wallace said about LaMalfa's struggle to find an answer his audience would like.
"I mean, even when they're trying to blame [Former President Joe] Biden, they can't get out of their own way on this issue. And it's like month three. I remember the day that Elon Musk tweeted, Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the first day we covered it as a show, as anything other than a heinous crime that happened during the first Trump presidency. But as a political scandal where the kindling was, was sort of created by MAGA and the match lit by Elon Musk and now burning deep inside the Trump coalition, they cannot stop fanning the flames."
