Liz Peek joined Varney & Co. on Fox Business to break down the imploding Graham Platner Senate campaign — and the Democratic Party’s scramble to distance itself from a candidate it enthusiastically backed for months.
“There were enough red flags to deck out a communist party gathering,” Peek said, pointing to Platner’s Nazi tattoo, his history of vile social media posts, and his presence on a platform associated with sexual exploitation of teens. Now that Susan Collins has pulled even — or slightly ahead — in the polls, she said, national Democrats led by Bernie Sanders and Chris Murphy are suddenly abandoning the candidate they spent months defending. Murphy has even scrubbed his own social media accounts to erase his prior praise for Platner.
“It really shows what jokers the people running the Democratic Party are right now,” Peek said, arguing the party handed control to its farthest-left wing purely because that’s “where the energy and the money” are — even at the cost of alienating Jewish and Black voters increasingly uneasy with the socialist surge.
Peek also discussed her latest op-ed, arguing that this year’s July 4th celebrations — and the U.S. Women’s National Team’s embrace of the national anthem — exposed just how out of step the Democratic Party’s radicalism is with America’s patriotic “silent majority.” A recent Cato survey found most Americans, including immigrants who fled communist and socialist countries, are proud and grateful to be American — a sentiment Peek says today’s Democratic socialists dangerously dismiss.
