Former Trump White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany blasted President Joe Biden and his 2020 campaign’s collusion with “deep state” operatives and officials within the U.S. intelligence community regarding a letter that strongly suggested information found on a laptop abandoned by Hunter Biden was nothing but Russian “disinformation.”
“If you’re a Democrat, guess who your campaign surrogates are? They’re not like people you pedal in the media, they’re not influencers, although you get those too if you’re a TikTok star in [the] Biden administration. Your campaign surrogates are intelligence officials…That’s what we learned, that [Antony] Blinken, the guy that goes on to become secretary of state, is organizing a letter of former intel officials,” she said during Friday’s episode of “Outnumbered” on Fox News, which she co-hosts.
Information this week revealed by Republican-led House committees noted that Blinken, who was an adviser to Biden’s 2020 campaign, contacted intel officials about the damning revelations discovered on Hunter’s laptop, prompting a letter to be written and signed by 51 current and former intelligence officials who claimed the laptop information smacked of a Russian operation.
“So if you have a D behind your name, Democrat, you get this high-profile, highly-connected group of people in Washington, former officials, current officials who will band together, write a letter on your behalf, you got guys like [former CIA Director John] Brennan, [former Defense Secretary Leon] Panetta, [former Director of National Intelligence James] Clapper, the media will fully buy into the letter and social media will ban anyone that says otherwise or questions it,” McEnany noted further.
WATCH:
In October 2020, a letter signed by numerous “former intelligence officials” asserted that the New York Post’s article on emails from Hunter Biden’s supposed abandoned laptop exhibited “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”
Consequently, Twitter suspended several accounts, including those of the New York Post and Kayleigh McEnany, for distributing the report, citing its “hacked materials” policy as the reason for the decision.
In December, Elon Musk shared documents with journalist Michael Shellenberger that revealed the FBI had contacted Twitter about possible leaks related to Hunter Biden before the New York Post’s report was published.
McEnany compared this assistance to the treatment that Republicans received, noting that they were subjected to a bogus dossier and FISA surveillance authorization. Furthermore, safeguards were bypassed, and their campaigns were monitored while the media accepted the narrative without question.
McEnany concluded her remarks by urging skeptics of the deep state’s existence to accept its reality in light of the story, emphasizing that the deep state is not merely a term used in obscure corners of the internet but is, in fact, a genuine phenomenon.
