Scott Jennings Skewers the Democrats for Exactly Why They Are Hemorrhaging Voters

The reaction of the Democrats to New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani says something about how lost they are as a party. When you're embracing someone who has used the radical language he has, you may have a problem.
As Rebecca Downs at our sister site Townhall reported, Democratic strategist Joel Payne tried to square that circle during a panel discussion on "CNN NewsNight With Abby Phillip" on Thursday:
"Democrats actually should be happy that we have folks, again, who have a wide range of appeal that are within our tent," Payne claimed. "And you're going to need Zohran Mamdanis and people who are moved by Zohran Mamdani as a part of a bigger Democratic coalition."
"So, yes, he might not use the language, he might not actually line up with the agenda of every other Democrat across the country, but that's okay. I mean, you, big tent parties need to have room for people who do not actually align pure--purely with every single thing that the master party says," he continued, as he went after Jennings for chuckling about such a point.
