[See NewsBusters for more.] On Friday, CNN Newsroom host John King and AP Washington bureau chief Julie Pace discussed former aide to Vice President Pence, Olivia Troye cutting an ad in favor and endorsement of Joe Biden. The two had a mutual fondness for the word "damning" to describe Troye's assessment of President Trump's COVID record, with Pace going further and claiming that Troye help's confirms Biden's narrative that he's a moderate.

After playing the ad from Republican Voters Against Trump, King sought to downplay any criticism of Troye, whose biggest allegation is that Trump prevented a better response because he's concerned about re-election, "The White House now trying to make the case disgruntled employee, when you leave the White House the Democrats or Never Trumpers try to get you to say things but it's a pretty damning account for someone who was a senior staff member on the coronavirus task force."
