“Vulnerable” Rodney Davis Caught Parroting GOP Talking Points… Again

Did you catch Rodney Davis on CNN earlier today? Davis  – who reporters and election forecasters (see Inside Elections, Politico, Cook Political Report) recognize as “vulnerable” in 2020 – spent his time in the spotlight flacking for President Trump and the Republican Party where he was fact-checked twice in 25 seconds.

Davis has continued to blindly support the President to the point where he’s now getting fact-checked in real time while parroting demonstrably false narratives.

“Rodney Davis pretends like he’s an independent thinker, but his true colors are bursting through. Davis is a partisan hack whose blind loyalty to President Trump will cost him in November 2020,” said DCCC Spokesperson Courtney Rice.

WATCH:

DAVIS: If you look at the transcript of the call, which is actually unprecedented to release a transcript of a call between two foreign leaders, the paragraph that you’re talking about actually talks about corruption –

RAJU: He doesn’t mention corruption.

DAVIS: He mentions the 2016 election process and that was part of corruption in Ukraine, we passed…

RAJU: He never said ‘corruption’ in two conversations with Zelensky though.

DAVIS: We’ve talked about corruption in Ukraine…

RAJU: So that, of course, was in reference to the phone calls the President had with President Zelensky of Ukraine. The president asked for those investigations into Joe Biden. He never mentioned the word ‘corruption,’ but that is still the argument Republicans are making up here. That’s why the President asked for those investigations – so don’t expect any Republicans to defect at this point.
