NCS viewers obtained to see anchor Dana Bash react to White House backlash in actual time throughout Tuesday’s episode of “Inside Politics.”
Bash’s eyes flicked forwards and backwards between her visitor, NCS’s political director David Chalian, and one thing in her lap as they mentioned the “palace intrigue” uncovered in a new Vanity Fair piece primarily based on a collection of candid interviews with White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
Explaining why her consideration was cut up, Bash stated, “You probably saw me looking down while you were talking because I was getting texts from people inside Trump world who say, ‘No, they’re not reeling,’ as our chyron says.”
“So, here we go. Susie Wiles is unfiltered. We’re going to be unfiltered too,” Bash continued. “And they say that that is not what’s happening. And that is an exaggeration of what’s going on inside. So, that’s out there. And we’re going to be transparent about what they’re saying right now.”
The texts from Trump’s camp have been clearly meant to rebuff stories that Wiles’ uncharacteristically unvarnished quotes printed by Vanity Fair had the White House in disaster mode.
In the article, the usually media-shy political operator described President Donald Trump as an incorrigible chief with “an alcoholic’s personality,” hinted at a bitter rivalry between Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and known as departed DOGE architect Elon Musk “an avowed ketamine user.”
Following its publication, Wiles dismissed Vanity Fair’s reporting as “a disingenuously framed hit piece on me and the finest President, White House staff, and Cabinet in history” by which “significant context was disregarded.”
“None of this will stop our relentless pursuit of Making America Great Again!” she added within the social media submit.
