David Plouffe: Calling Trump Hitler ‘Bothered Voters’

‘That wasn’t the core of our campaign’

EXCERPT:

PLOUFFE: “I think Trump's going to be in hot water because he's going to do a lot of stuff starting January 20th, that's not going to be about the price of eggs, it's going to be about sort of the MAGA ideological pursuits that his -- he and his base will insist happen, whether that's pardoning January 6 rioters or some of the other things around health care and immigration. So -- but -- but I think, Dan, that it is important. We spent a lot of time with voters in the aftermath of those comments from Milley and about, you know, desiring generals like Hitler, and it bothered voters. So, again, that wasn't the core of our campaign. The core of our campaign was an economic contrast in these battleground states, but it was an important element of it.”
