In Leaked Call, House Democrats Admit Socialism And Anti-Cop Rhetoric Cost Them Key 2020 Races
November 6, 2020 By Jordan Davidson
Democratic leaders in the House of Representatives warned colleagues Thursday that promoting and campaigning on a far-left social agenda hurt them badly in 2020.
“[If] we are going to run on Medicare for All, defund the police, socialized medicine, we’re not going to win,†House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, a Democrat from South Carolina said on a leaked Democrat House caucus phone call.
A Washington Post congressional reporter receiving leaked information from a source with access tweeted part of the more than two-hour phone call on Thursday afternoon.

Spanberger on the Dem caucus call: We lost races we shouldn’t have lost.
Defund police almost cost me my race bc of an attack ad.
Don’t say socialism ever again.
Need to get back to basics.
(Is yelling.)
