4:08Now PlayingIt’s not easy being a Donald Trump surrogate. Kayleigh McEnany does her best. Ben Mankiewicz, Jimmy Dore, Michael Shure, and Brett Erlich, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“One of Donald Trump’s surrogates excused the candidate’s continuing obsession with a former Miss Universe he bullied years ago by arguing that the woman possibly deserved the humiliating treatment she endured.
Kayleigh McEnany admitted Friday morning on CNN’s “New Day” that she and other campaign advisors have urged the Republican presidential nominee to drop his attacks on Alicia Machado, the 1996 Miss Universe pageant winner, but she justified Trump’s early-morning tweet storm.
“I do think that’s important — when you’re on the defense, move to the offense,” McEnany said, echoing a directive sent the day before by campaign officials to surrogates.
Trump has continued insulting Machado all week after Hillary Clinton mentioned her during the debate, and McEnany said she understood why her boss had urged voters to watch a sex tape in which the woman allegedly appears — although there’s no evidencethat it’s actually her.”*
