"CNN's Dana Bash revealed during her show on Tuesday that allies of President Donald Trump were texting her in real time to take issue with her coverage of Susie Wiles's explosive Vanity Fair interview. On Tuesday's Inside Politics, Bash revealed Trump world took quick offense to CNN's chyron claiming they are reeling from the Wiles interview, in which the White House chief of staff said Trump had an alcoholic's personality, called Vice President JD Vance a conspiracy theorist, and more."
"You probably saw me looking down while you were talking because I was getting texts from people inside Trump world who say, No, they're not reeling,' as our chyron says, Bash told guest David Chalian, political director for CNN. Bash revealed Trump allies were dismissing the claim that they are reeling from the Wiles quotes. So, here we go. Susie Wiles is unfiltered. We're going to be unfiltered too. And they say that that is not what's happening. And that is an exaggeration of what's going on inside. So, that's out there. And we're going to be transparent about what they're saying right now, Bash said."
"Wiles claimed important context was left out of her statements in Vanity Fair. Significant context was disregarded and much of what I, and others, said about the team and the President was left out of the story. I assume, after reading it, that this was done to paint an overwhelmingly chaotic and negative narrative about the President and our team, she said."
Dana Bash said allies of President Donald Trump texted her in real time to dispute CNN's chyron that the White House was "reeling" after Susie Wiles's Vanity Fair remarks. The Vanity Fair excerpts included Wiles describing Trump with an alcoholic's personality and criticizing Vice President JD Vance. Bash relayed that Trump allies dismissed the portrayal as exaggerated and said internal reaction was not what the chyron implied. David Chalian suggested the White House was circling the wagons to defend Wiles and quiet the story. Wiles said context was omitted and accused the piece of painting a chaotic, negative narrative.
