Trump advisor Jason Miller said the incumbent republican nominee Donald Trump will allow Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden “more room to explain himself” in Thursday’s scheduled presidential debate, the Washington Post reports.
Speaking on Fox “News” Sunday, Miller–who is infamously known for slipping his girlfriend an abortion pill unbeknownst to her–said, “I do think the president’s going to want to hear Joe Biden’s answer on some of these, and we’ll definitely give him all the time that Joe Biden wants to talk about packing the court.”
Trump campaign officials feel that if Biden is given a chance to talk, he will generate unforced flubs that the campaign can capitalize on. While that has not proven true in the numerous town halls Biden has participated in, the Trump camp needs to change tactics to salvage a flailing campaign.
Miller also tried to defend Trump’s hypocrisy and lies regarding the effective of face masks to slow the spread of the coronavirus. Trump has mocked people wearing masks and claimed, falsely, that the CDC said 85% of people who wear masks get coronavirus.
“If you want to defeat covid, vote for President Trump. If you want to live in your basement the rest of your life, well, Joe Biden’s a good option for you.” Miller is apparently unaware that more than 215,000 Americans have died, and another 8 million have been infected, under Trump.
