Republicans see Trump's 'clownishness' as a 'big political problem': ex-RNC spokesman

Former Republican National Committee spokesperson and Bulwark podcaster Tim Miller is arguing that Republicans and people inside the White House are fretting that an unstable President Donald Trump is hurtling his party toward defeat in November.

The discussion arose as part of a conversation about U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi’s admission that she was "inseparable" from U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard while she was on the ground for the raid of 2020 ballot documents in Fulton County, Georgia.

“The world is watching and they're saying W.T.F.? Like, what is happening?” Miller demanded of MS NOW anchor Nicole Wallace. “Her answer is like ‘we're besties.’ … [I]t bears repeating: That is totally inappropriate, even if true. The director of national intelligence and the attorney general shouldn't be sharing calendars and diaries.”

The former George W. Bush speechwriter went on to question whether other Republicans are “starting to see” Bondi as a vulnerability, but he said the administration vulnerability is a real issue nevertheless.

“The lame duck of Trump is really breaking through this week,” Miller said. “I mean, none of these people are profiles in courage. I'm not giving them any awards. But the fact that you've seen multiple members of Congress speak out about the racist bleep he sent about the Obamas, the fact that [Sen.] Katie Britt [R-Ala.] gave some kind of preposterous interview to the New York Times talking about how sad she was about the kids [Trump] detained. Like, all of these things are signs of things that like, they realize they have a big political problem and they're trying to figure out how to triangulate out of it.”

Miller went on to add that as Trump continues to grow more desperate and derailed, he is becoming an increasingly bigger liability for Republicans in the next elections.

“As a general matter, the clownishness is seeping out from MAGA spaces,” Miller told Wallace.

“The other thing about it is that they treat their own voters like they're dopes,” responded Wallace. “You know, it's Bill Barr who called [out Trump’s] conspiracy theories. It's [Sen.] Lindsey Graham [R-S.C.] who said to a Georgia grand jury ‘if they told him Martians had taken them, they would have believed him.’
