During a Sunday interview on Fox News, Biden campaign surrogate Jenna Arnold attempted to spin the New York Post's stories about Hunter Biden selling the Ukrainians access to his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden. According to Arnold, the emails are "unconfirmed" yet she failed to say whether or not they were actually Hunter's.
She said she appreciated the Trump campaign being pressed on the issue "that so much of this is unconfirmed."
"Jenna, it's real simple. You're saying it's unconfirmed. Tell us what parts are not true," Vittert hit back. "Hunter Biden knows what emails he has and hasn't sent. Are you saying, and the campaign saying, these emails aren't his?"
Instead of giving a firm "yes" or "no" to the question, Arnold attempted to spin.
"It's unclear to me – I would say what's so important right now, from the American citizen and the media – yourself included, Leland – is to continue to ask clarifying questions about this, why the FBI is investigating," she said.
"Whoa. Whoa. Whoa," Vittert interjected.
"It's imperative to know that the NSA told Trump that Giuliani was being played by these emails –" she went on.
"Again, Jenna, Jenna, Jenna. The easiest thing in the world to do: stop with all the obfuscation. The easiest thing in the world to do would be to say, 'These aren't Hunter Biden's emails,'" the Fox News host explained. "Nobody, including Hunter Biden, and including the campaign, has said it."
The one time that Biden was asked about it, by a CBS reporter, the former vice president attacked him, saying this was part of his personal "smear campaign."
"The question is this: I thought demonizing the media was a threat to our democracy. Every time President Trump attacks the media, Democrats – and yourself included – can't wait to yell about that. Don't the American people deserve something better than the former vice president attacking the person who asked a legitimate question?" Vittert asked.
Of course, Arnold made the claim that Biden "didn't attack" the CBS reporter. Instead he called the question "fake news."
Vittert reread Biden's statement.
"'It’s another smear campaign. Right up your alley. Those are the questions you always ask.' That kind of sounds like an attack to me," the Fox News host said.
Arnold shook her head, saying she doesn't consider it to be an attack. Instead, she said the Trump campaign has launched attacks on Biden by comparing the Chinese Communist Party to Nazi Germany.
Interestingly enough, she attempted to divert the conversation to the coronavirus of all things.
"I'm so confused," Vittert said, trying to follow Arnold's logic. "I feel like you still haven't answered the fundamental question, which is: can anyone say that these emails are inauthentic? And so far I haven't heard anyone say that."
Arnold herself admitted that Vittert was right: nobody is saying they are inauthentic.
Don’t forget to watch “Life, Liberty and Levin” tonight 8p EST. Mark has on Giuliani!!!
NYT’s now is covering the issue
only they are focusing on how some at the NY post doubted the info

If these kind of clueless people are going to run our
foreign policy, we are in big trouble.

leland is a snowflake fagboi, I can't believe he axed these questions.
The media knows that since these emails are really hunter's, that slow joe is toast, and they better get right with God and Trump.
Trump even put his stamp on the validity of these emails, so you know that he absolutely knows they are real.
The fbi investigating whether Hunter’s alleged emails are linked to a foreign intel op? Seriously, the corruption in the fbi is a very bad sign of things to come.

Surprised by this. Leland is an anti-Trump anchor of the weekend news on Fox. It was because of him and some stupid twit of a woman that I quit watching Fox on Saturday mornings.
LOL. That was great. I bet that chick has already upped her xanax dose. Haaahahaha...
LOL...what the hell is a “campaign surrogate”? Is she going to carry the campaign to full term and deliver it?
She said we need to “continue to ask clarifying questions.” That cracks me up because every Dem says “We need a conversation about that” when they don’t have a clue or are evading. She was true to form.
I’m surprised she didn’t work in a “that’s not who we are” for good measure.
“Trump campaign has launched attacks on Biden by comparing the Chinese Communist Party to Nazi Germany.”
Well, the shoe certainly fits.
Its tough to argue against that.
Those non-denial denials are so Nixonian.
The Dems have become the very thing they profess to hate.
LOL!
Jenna looks and acts like there is something REALLY wrong with her mentally!!!!
She’s an asshole.
Would that be Arthel Never-Trumper??
She is a flack, and a pro at it.
That’s not to disparage her.
A hired PR person is paid to tell a predetermined story and interact within well-briefed parameters. They are not acting according to their own personal judgement.
A lot of people are fooled by that, they are used to dealing with ordinary people, who discuss things in a truly personal way, that is, they mostly believe in what they are saying. A good PR person can project a personality that emulates that, but one must keep in mind what they really are.
This applies to all kinds of PR persons. Corporations, legal representatives (who often act as or even hire pro PR agencies), bureaucratic spokesmen, and of course all kinds of politicians. Kayleigh McEnany, for instance, is also such a pro.
