CNN: “Prior to becoming a prominent backer of Donald Trump, Kayleigh McEnany praised then-Vice President Joe Biden as “funny and likable” and a “man of the people” who resonates with “middle class voters.” As White House press secretary and before that a spokesperson for the Republican National Committee and Trump campaign, McEnany has been a relentless critic of Biden. She has mimicked many of the President’s attacks on the former vice president calling him ‘sleepy’ and ‘a radical socialist.’ But in August 2015 interviews reviewed by CNN’s KFile, McEnany said Republicans would run into a problem in a potential race between Donald Trump and Biden.”
“At the time, Biden was considering a run for the White House. ‘I think the Republicans run into a problem if it is Joe Biden and if it is maybe a Trump on the other side,’ McEnany said on local New York’s AM970. ‘Because Joe Biden, one of the things he is remarkable at is really kind of being a man of the people and resonating with middle class voters. Feeling like – coming off as human. His gaffes – as much as we make fun of them – to a certain extent they make him look human. So not, since he’s likable.”
