Sarah Longwell ran Republican Voters Against Trump in 2020, which spent millions of dollars to defeat President Trump. She’s at it again in 2024. On Wednesday, Judy Woodruff and the PBS News Hour pretended she’s a “Republican Strategist,” even as she campaigned on Monday with Harris and Liz Cheney in three states.
Woodruff presented “Republican strategist and host of “The Focus Group” podcast, Sarah Longwell….Longwell is the publisher of The Bulwark, a center-right media outlet opposed to Donald Trump. She runs focus groups like these across the country, using a nonpartisan approach to better understand all voters’ thinking.”
This matches the dishonest branding of The Bulwark as “No partisan loyalties. No tribal prejudices.” Even as Longwell’s out on the campaign trail with Kamala.
At least Longwell’s focus group of swing voters in Nevada — who voted Trump in 2016 and Biden in 2020 — produced an eye-opening smidgen of a discussion about Kamala Harris being “mentored” in the 1990s while she was dating a much older Willie Brown, who then became mayor of San Francisco. There were no specifics, just a voter worried about “sleeping her way to the top.” Another swing voter ripped Trump as somehow sleeping his way to the top!
PBS did not jump in to say there was “No Evidence” of that.
NICOLE, Nevada Voter: I’m very uncertain about her. There’s just a feeling. And I’m going to do lots more research before I do vote. There are rumors and things that I need to research more. Still leaning towards him a little bit more.
SARAH LONGWELL: Rumors about her. Like, what kind of rumors?
NICOLE: Sleeping her way to the top. Anybody can say that about a woman. I’m tired of hearing that. Hopefully, it’s not true.
MARGIE, Nevada Voter: Well, what about the men that slept their way to the top? There’s a lot of them.
NICOLE: There are. Yes.
MARGIE: We should give them both… I mean, Trump’s done a lot of that. So, hey, there you go.
NICOLE: He’s had how many wives? But, yes, no, I’m tired of hearing it about women. Like, because just she went to school. She has…
MEAGAN, Nevada Voter: So why bring it up now?
NICOLE: These are rumors that I need to research.
MEAGAN: Okay.
NICOLE: That’s what I said.
MARIA, Nevada Voter: But she was elected to all of her positions. So there is no sleeping her way to the top with that.
A few seconds before, Margie gushed over Kamala Harris taking over for Biden: “I felt like I had a breath of fresh air. It was shocking to me. But I think it was like, oh, my gosh, somebody else. And it just infused so much energy. And I was like, oh, I like this!”
This was on the same show that PBS interviewed James Carville.
