“Rudy is in so many ways a perfect messenger for exactly what this administration stands for, and that’s why voters reject it,” Biden deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield said, underscoring the campaign’s eagerness to use Giuliani as a White House poster boy.

Bedingfield also delighted in Trump’s attempt to put distance between himself and Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman after their indictments — a problem since the president and his son and namesake had been separately photographed with the two Soviet-born Florida business men. Before they were arrested Wednesday night at Dulles International Airport, Giuliani was supposed to meet the men in Vienna.

“Giuliani’s cronies — who Trump pretends not to know even though he’s pictured with them multiple times giving the thumbs up, no less — have been arrested trying to flee the country, one day before Rudy was scheduled to join them in Vienna and hours after dining with him at the Trump Hotel,” Bedingfield noted.
