ABC’s Dowd Linked Shooting to Trump ‘Rhetoric,’ Cheers Biden Outburst

[See NewsBusters for more.] What a difference a political party makes. In 2019, ABC political analyst Matthew Dowd linked Donald Trump’s “rhetoric” and tone to a shooting at a synagogue. Yet, on Tuesday, he cheered an unhinged Joe Biden moment in which the Democrat berated and threatened a “horse’s ass,” “full of shit” voter. Appearing during Super Tuesday II election night results, Dowd was asked to comment on the moment. He gushed, “When I saw that moment, I thought, ‘This is going to be a net plus for Joe Biden.’ I've been through so many campaigns with so many candidates that have had moments like that and everybody thinks, 'Oh, my gosh, what just happened?' In this environment, at this time, for Joe Biden, that's going to be a net plus in this.”
