Democrats Are Lying to Themselves About Why Their Party Is Collapsing
Robert Busek
It’s been two weeks since American Eagle brought sexy back to American advertising, and the left is still grappling with how to deal with Sydney Sweeney. Last Friday, Biden White House functionary Rob Flaherty joined the fray with an op-ed in Politico entitled “The Sydney Sweeney Saga Shows Why Republicans Keep Winning.” In his opening paragraphs, he laments the stupidity of the radical left’s insane reaction to the ad campaign while admitting that “Democrats keep losing the culture war, and with it, the narrative war that inevitably shapes who wins elections.”
I suppose Flaherty should be commended for admitting the culture war is ongoing instead of calling it “phony” like more prominent members of his party. Sadly, there is little else praiseworthy in his diatribe. In his willful blindness, Flaherty chooses to blame his party’s woes on “the media ecosystem we’re all trapped in” rather than the massive elephant in the room: his party’s lack of credibility with the American people.
