<p>Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus had harsh words for the far left and, particularly, far-left House Democrats on Wednesday, insisting that election results in New York and Ohio &#8212; where &#8220;moderate,&#8221; more Establishment Democrats routed progressive challengers &#8212; prove that Democrat voters are rejecting a far-left message.</p>
<p>&#8220;Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York, a top member of House leadership, said in an interview Wednesday that Democratic voters were clearly rejecting candidates from the party’s most strident and ideological flank,&#8221; The New York Times reported Wednesday as part of its Ohio coverage. &#8220;Where some primary voters welcomed an angrier message during the Trump years, Mr. Jeffries said, there is less appetite now for revolutionary rhetoric casting the Democratic Party as a broken institution.&#8221;</p>
<p>As the Daily Wire reported, the &#8220;Establishment&#8221;-supported Shontel Brown soundly defeated Bernie Sanders’s former campaign co-chair Nina Turner in a Democratic primary in Ohio on Tuesday night. Turner, an avowed progressive, had hoped to become part of the far-left &#8220;Squad&#8221; was left puzzled when Brown easily defeated her.</p>
<p>She also immediately leveled an apparent anti-Semitic attack at her opponent, Brown, claiming that Brown took &#8220;evil money&#8221; to fund her campaign. Turner was, ostensibly, referring to a generous donation Brown received from the Democratic Majority for Israel.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am going to work hard to ensure that something like this never happens to a progressive candidate again. See, we didn’t lose this race — evil money manipulated and maligned this election. See, I don’t want you to relent, because it took evil money. They took evil money to come in here and do this. Well, I swear to you, that as sure as there is a God in heaven, sister Turner is going to continue working with every fiber of her being until true justice reigns,” Turner said in her concession speech Tuesday night.</p>
<p>Jeffries, however, blamed progressives for their own loss, suggesting not just that their politics weren&#8217;t in line with voters&#8217; but that their rhetoric was too inflammatory.</p>
<p>“The extreme left is obsessed with talking trash about mainstream Democrats on Twitter, when the majority of the electorate constitute mainstream Democrats at the polls,” Jeffries said.</p>
<p>He then vowed that Establishment Dems were not “going to act like punching bags for the extreme left.”</p>
<p>Progressives do not appear to be taking Jeffries&#8217; advice to heart. On Twitter and in interviews, members of the Squad insisted that either Ohio was simply not ready for a more progressive Representative &#8212; a possibility given that the swing state tends to favor middle-of-the-road candidates. Voters in OH-11 went heavily for President Joe Biden and Democratic Congresswoman Marcia Fudge, who held the seat until she was tapped to serve in the Biden administration, was, generally speaking, a more moderate Democrat.</p>
<p>Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) <a href="https://twitter.com/aaronlarnavarro/status/1422928843552215048?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1422928843552215048%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fhotair.com%2Fjohn-s-2%2F2021%2F08%2F04%2Fchair-of-house-democratic-caucus-establishment-dems-are-done-being-punching-bags-for-the-extreme-left-n406786">said that the Ohio primary</a> had no wider message and that the results meant &#8220;absolutely nothing.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Ohio election had indications for Republicans running in 2022 as well. A candidate, endorsed by former President Donald Trump was able to secure a win.</p>
