Can you say denial? Even CNN’s Anderson Cooper seems shocked that House progressive leader Rep. Pramila Jayapal won’t acknowledge the importance of election night. “This doesn’t mean anything for the midterms,” she said. That’s just one of the incredible statements she makes. Watch as Cooper repeatedly presses her, at one point saying, “it was kind of a resounding slap in the face to Democrats.”
“We cannot run on just tying Trump to Republicans,” says Rep. Pramila Jayapal, reacting to the Dems’ loss in Virginia. “People want to forget about Trump because he was so chaotic and so destructive. And so, I think what we have to do is we have to run on local issues.” pic.twitter.com/54bqlxByhw
