Biden White House senior adviser Keisha Lance Bottoms claimed during an interview this week that she experienced “PTSD” from former President Donald Trump’s lengthy speech at the Republican National Convention this week.
Bottoms, who is the former mayor of Atlanta, made the remarks during a CNN interview on Friday with John Berman where she was asked if she thinks that President Joe Biden can beat Trump.
“Donald Trump couldn’t even last 30 minutes pretending to act as if he had good sense. Donald Trump is still Donald Trump. And that’s what we should expect,” she claimed. “I had PTSD watching Donald Trump give that speech last night because I was mayor while Donald Trump was in the Oval Office, and it was a disaster trying to govern a city with the instability that was coming outside of the White House.”
“So, I do believe that Donald Trump is beatable,” she continued. “I do believe that we can hold on to the Senate. I do believe that we can hold on to the House. There was this red wave that was expected during the midterms. It didn’t happen. People thought that Joe Biden wouldn’t be our nominee in 2020. It happened.”
She claimed that Democrat voters needed to “keep their eyes on the prize” of “defeat[ing] Donald Trump.”
“And the Donald Trump that we will expect to see, if he, God forbid, is elected president again, is the one that we saw last night,” she added.
