Former Bush-Cheney political strategist Matthew Dowd said Thursday on “MSNBC Reports” that President Joe Biden was trying to corner President-elect Donald Trump with his final official actions as president.
“Matthew, it’s been a busy week for the President,” said guest host Richard Bush. We’re talking about the commutation that came at the end of last week, but we had several bills signed by the President. There is also the issue of more judges.
He asked, “What lasting impact do you expect to see from them over the next three weeks?”
Dowd said, “I mean, I think what he’s trying to do is try to corner Donald Trump and try to corner him in a way so that he can — I think The Biden administration and President Donald Trump are trying to do as much damage as they can, but I think Joe Biden is trying to get them to do this. Trying specifically. Speaking of communication, Donald Trump doesn’t really understand the difference between punishment and pardon.
He added, “It comes from the president’s view of Christianity and the world. I will tell you personally that as a Christian, I oppose the death penalty. Donald Trump, it’s amazing that he’s considering this issue this way on Christmas. He might have quoted Scrooge from Dickens and said Bah Humbug.
“I think Joe Biden is trying to corner Donald Trump as much as he can,” Dowd said.
