Biden official on Donald Trump: ‘Let’s extinguish him for good’
Gina Raimondo, Secretary of Commerce, was on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” Raimondo accused Donald Trump of presenting “another lie.” During her interaction with the hosts, Raimondo also said, “Let’s extinguish him for good.” She went on to describe Kamala Harris as a “remarkably talented candidate” who is “sincere”, “pragmatic”, and who’s “open”. Mika Brzezinski gave Raimondo an “out”, as Brzezinski understood how her statement about Trump could be taken. It turned out that Raimondo meant to defeat Donald Trump at the polls, with the implication that his defeat would be big enough to discourage him from running again.
From Townhall:
The remarks came while the secretary and former governor of Rhode Island was on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” As she was complaining about what she claimed was “another lie” from Trump, asking “like, how did we get here?” Gesturing for emphasis, Raimondo insisted, “Let’s extinguish [Trump] for good,” going on to claim Vice President Kamala Harris was an “answer” as a “remarkably talented candidate,” who is supposedly “sincere, who is pragmatic, who is open, let’s just get it done.”
In response to such a startling remark from Raimondo, co-host Mika Brzezinski sought clarification to make clear that her guest “meant vote him out,” who chirped with a “yes, absolutely, vote him out, banish him from American politics, yes, just vote him out so he goes away because he’s–it’s just not where America… let’s turn the page,” as she continued to rant about Trump.
In addition to the Trump War Room putting out a clip of such remarks, the Trump-Vance Rapid Response sent out an email about Raimondo’s remarks.
Last Monday, following the second assassination attempt against Trump, the Trump-Vance campaign also released an exhaustive list calling out numerous other top Democrats as well as their allies in the mainstream media. That list also highlighted how “the deplorable commentary from Democrats and the Fake News in the aftermath of the latest assassination attempt has been even worse.”
