CNN Panel Gets Heated As Republican Reveals What Dems Really ‘Stand For’

CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings left Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) sputtering her objections during a panel discussion after he laid out several of the more unpopular cultural issues behind which her party has thrown its support.

Dingell began by expressing a sentiment that a number of Democrats have in recent weeks, saying that it clearly was not enough of a strategy to simply oppose President Donald Trump or oppose Republicans — and that in order to win elections going forward, the Democratic Party needed to paint a clearer picture of what it stood for.

I’ll defend the Democrats. They have taken an unyielding stand for:

“Democrats have to stop being ‘against Donald Trump’ and start being ‘for’ something,” she said.

“I’ll defend the Democrats,” Jennings replied. “They are for things. Illegal aliens. You’re for boys in girls’ sports. I mean, you are for things. And that’s why you have such struggles right now in your party, because you’re not for anything that’s on the right side of any of the 80-20 issues that are driving this cultural divide in America.”

Jennings then pivoted to address the Democratic Party’s bench going into the next presidential election cycle, and he conceded that he saw some talent in Governor Wes Moore (D-MD).

“The other person who spoke in South Carolina, Tim Walz, is a special mixture of extreme buffoonery and a mean spirit, which is a toxic brew,” Jennings continued. “He is not the future of the Democratic Party. Moore is interesting. Moore is interesting, probably more interesting than some of the radicals you have out there, Crockett, AOC, I mean those are the true leaders of your party right now —”

“That’s not true — I’m not gonna even let you —” Dingell attempted to push back.
