Yes. You read that correctly. Sean McDermott has had a narrative around him over the last couple years that he is not liked. I get it now.
I’m going to put this in the “bold strategy” category. I would pay real money to know what the other people in that room were thinking.
I could see him looking at someone walking into the locker room and saying “watch this” then proceeding to talk about one of the biggest national disasters in American history.
This is a move straight out of a 90s comedy or a Michael Scott meeting in the office. I had to check a couple of times to make sure this was the actual Adam Schefter. Insanity speech.
I can’t comprehend what the thought process was here. There are plenty of other stories that he could point to; D-Day, The Revolutionary War, The Civil War – and he went with the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil.
