From a 2009 Charlie Rose show featuring a roundtable of then-Politico people, including Vandehei. I haven't trusted his POV since that show.

Hey Guys, I'm starting to think big media companies might not be here for the publics best interest. Almost like they just want to make money on horse race presidential races and 1 note gaffs! What do you guys think?

I mean he's saying he agrees with some parts of it, disagrees with other parts of it, and also doesn't know anything about it. Can they not notice the glaring contradiction at all? Are they not allowed to point that out?

In a sane world, things like this would severely damage VandeHei's career. He's clearly not a fool, so this looks far too much like shoving his thumb on the scale for Trump.

I mean, it's pretty clear he's lying when he says "I know nothing about Project 2025" and then says he disagrees with stuff in it! Political journalists call a lie a lie challenge (impossible)

He figured out the ultimate cheat code, just say "I don't support that thing" and journalists have no choice but to print it. There's no other option! "I won't end abortion" and tada he's a moderate. You might think a decade of quotes, governance, appointments, rallies prove otherwise but nuh-uh

That's been the case for at least nine years now . . . in terms of political journalists. How long did it take to get the NYTimes to use the word "lie" in reference to Trump.

Doubly so since it's very simple to explain strategically in horserace terms -- he knows his coalition's policies are unpopular as campaign issues but have a chance of going broadly unnoticed by the electorate if they get outsourced to agencies and judges.

This has been a problem all along, and now we have a dynamic where Biden is (fairly) expected to have a basic command of facts and figures and speak clearly, while Trump is expected to say whatever and know anything, because he's done that.

It’s frustrating because it’s completely obvious what trump wants to do in downplaying 2025 and “simplifying” the gop platform. Zero specifics, broad generalizations (make America great again), can’t attack what isn’t there. Grifters thrive in ambiguity.

No he’s “seeking to distance” himself. It’s a thought-out tactic, you see. That’s not lying. It’s…something that’s not lying.

It's such a dumb rhetorical position. eg: "Trump claims, without evidence, that his middle name is J, not John. Experts differ on whether this is true. His birth certificate says 'John,' but TrumpMama says on Xitter that he didn't just make it up and that everyone knows his middle name is just J."

I suppose it could possible that Trump had ignored the Project 2025 briefing and truly doesn't remember what it is, and I doubt he's actually any more familiar with it now than before.
