Despite quickly retracting her statement, this slip of the tongue highlights the aggressive language used by Democrats and left-wing media against Trump. Anderson Cooper brought up President Joe Biden&#8217;s frustration with the media not addressing Trump&#8217;s lies during a recent interview, prompting Bedingfield to acknowledge that Democrats need to shift their focus to Trump if they want to secure victory. This comes just days after Biden called for a decrease in inflammatory rhetoric following the assassination attempt on Trump.
