Dissension in the ranks…
Via Daily Caller:
The Democratic party’s choice to provide Tuesday’s rebuttal to President Trump’s congressional speech was “a mistake,” Missouri Rep. Emanuel Cleaver said Wednesday.
“I don’t mind saying when we make mistakes, and that was a mistake,” the Democrat said when asked in an interview on MSNBC about the decision to have former Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear respond to Trump’s speech.
Beshear’s rebuttal was widely criticized, because of both the awkward staging — MSNBC host Craig Melvin said his rebuttal looked like a “hostage video” — and the fact that Beshear, a 72-year-old white man, is not in the Democratic Party’s target demographic.
