Michael Goodwin writes for the New York Post about the Democratic Party’s continuing challenge.
It’s been four months since Donald Trump and Republicans swept the 2024 elections — and Democrats haven’t learned a thing.
Here are three snapshots of a party wallowing in denial: When the eight candidates running to head the Democratic National Committee were asked who among them believed that “racism and misogyny” were factors in Kamala Harris’ defeat, all eight raised their hands.
When congressional Dems gathered outside the headquarters of the rogue USAID agency that Trump plans to shrink or close, one of their lead speakers was the antisemitic terror defender and America-hater Rep. Ilhan Omar.
Then there’s New Jersey Gov Phil Murphy, who said Saturday he was hiding an illegal immigrant in his house and challenged ICE, saying “good luck to the feds coming in to try to get her.”
I’ve long believed Trump has a gift for driving his opponents over the edge.
Sputtering mad over his style and success, they say and do the dumbest things, which reveals them to be the real crazies.
Take Murphy: His office quickly backtracked, saying there is no illegal immigrant living in his house and that he was referring to a legal immigrant who is a friend.
Huh?
So why did he feel the need to lie and make himself out to be a deportation resister? And why in the same speech did he go back to the Hitler, Hitler, Hitler nonsense that failed during the campaign?
“Germans in the ’20s and ’30s got tired. They got sick of fighting and look at the price we paid,” Murphy said.
Trump’s success is driving him nuts, so Murphy retaliates by making a fool of himself! Such is the case with much of Washington as Dems and their media mouthpieces rage over the president’s first two weeks in office. In their rush to paint Trump as an extremist, they are saying and doing extreme things.
They’re also showing their ignorance.
