<p>CNN contributor and Democratic strategist Paul Begala appeared to slam the Democrats&#8217; base during a CNN segment on Monday, saying that the party had &#8220;bad followers.&#8221;</p>
<p>Begala made the remarks in response to comments from Arndrea Waters King, daughter-in-law to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/cnn-paul-begala-democrats-bad-followers">suggested</a> to Politico that Biden was not putting the &#8220;same power and passion&#8221; behind voting rights that he did in getting the infrastructure bill passed.</p>
<p>&#8220;Do you think that&#8217;s fair criticism?&#8221; CNN anchor Poppy Harlow asked. &#8220;Did President Biden put more effort into getting infrastructure passed, for example?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, he got infrastructure passed and that’s a good thing because success can breed success,&#8221; Begala responded. &#8220;He is putting the full force of the presidency behind it. I think the problem for the Democrats right now is not that they have bad leaders. They have bad followers, okay?&#8221;</p>
