Caroline Sunshine Battles Brad Todd Dismissing Backlash on GOP Ad of Young Man on Welfare: ‘10 Million People Agree with Me’

EXCERPT:

TODD: "I think I have a pretty good grasp of where the Republican base is since I spent my entire living trying to help Republicans unite to win elections. And I have seen no one legitimate who is upset by this. These are only clickbait profiteers online — "

SUNSHINE: "I'm upset. I'm very upset. And there are 10 million people who have seen that ad online who agree with me, Brad. So I know you think you know the GOP base, but you might want to check yourself. Let me ask you this. Do you know — "

TODD: "Being a self-styled MAGA influencer who sells clickbait does not make you representative of the base."

SUNSHINE: "Do you know what percentage of welfare recipients in the United States are white men under the age of 25?"

TODD: "I know that I don't look at people's race when I decide what the policy is."

SUNSHINE: "What percentage of welfare recipients are white men under the age of 25?"

TODD: "Again, I told you, I don't look at people — "

SUNSHINE: "It's 1 percent. It's less than 1 percent. So, white men under the age of 25 are less than 1 percent of welfare recipients in our country, but they're the star of Sarah Sanders' ad."
