“It’s like Donald Trump’s staff is sabotaging Trump by convincing him to make the worst possible endorsements,” wrote one conservative pundit
Donald Trump and close allies are moving swiftly to contain the blast radius of the backlash sparked by his endorsement of physician Mehmet Oz in the Pennsylvania Senate race.
But the night after Hannity’s segment, his fellow Fox News host Laura Ingraham did one of her own, in which she played clips of Oz’s past positions on abortion and gun laws and pressed former Trump aide Kellyanne Conway — who supports businessman David McCormick, Oz’s main GOP rival, and is working with a McCormick-supporting super PAC — if Trump’s decision was wrong.
“It’s like Donald Trump’s staff is sabotaging Trump by convincing him to make the worst possible endorsements,” wrote conservative pundit Erick Erickson on Twitter. The Oz campaign, meanwhile, argued that the narrative about the backlash to Trump’s nod has been overblown, and driven by the McCormick team.
“Unless you’re really wanting to damage us in the general, I don’t know why you’re continuing this,” said Gloria “Lee” Snover, chair of the Northampton Republican Party and an Oz backer, of complaints about Trump’s decision. “That’s why I’m upset with these people that won’t get over the endorsement. Okay, it happened. It’s done. You’re going to continue to trash the Republican Party? Please stop.
Jim Schultz, a former White House lawyer who is close to the McCormick campaign, said McCormick is continuing his campaign as planned.
