Don Jr's Political Advice for Democrats: Stop Being "Left of Commie"
The president's oldest son offers some useless insights for the opposition party
Feb 04, 2018
Offering some useless insights into the opposition party over the weekend, the president's eldest son Donald Trump Jr. told Democrats their biggest problem is that they are now "left of commie" on the political spectrum.
"The problem is rather than being reasonable and coming to the table, they forced themselves further, and further and further left," Trump Jr. said during a Fox News interview Saturday night. "I mean, they are left of commie right now, and that's a real problem for them because I don't think that's where America was [during the 2016 election]."
\u201cDon Jr & Watters agree that Democrats secretly want Dreamers to be deported, then Don Jr claims that Democrats "are left of commie right now."\n\n"I think people want some moderation in their thought and from their leaders," he says.\u201d— Aaron Rupar (@Aaron Rupar) 1517707013
Fact check: that's ridiculous.
An Urgent Message From Our Co-Founder
Dear Common Dreams reader, The U.S. is on a fast track to authoritarianism like nothing I've ever seen. Meanwhile, corporate news outlets are utterly capitulating to Trump, twisting their coverage to avoid drawing his ire while lining up to stuff cash in his pockets. That's why I believe that Common Dreams is doing the best and most consequential reporting that we've ever done. Our small but mighty team is a progressive reporting powerhouse, covering the news every day that the corporate media never will. Our mission has always been simple: To inform. To inspire. And to ignite change for the common good. Now here's the key piece that I want all our readers to understand: None of this would be possible without your financial support. That's not just some fundraising cliche. It's the absolute and literal truth. We don't accept corporate advertising and never will. We don't have a paywall because we don't think people should be blocked from critical news based on their ability to pay. Everything we do is funded by the donations of readers like you. Will you donate now to help power the nonprofit, independent reporting of Common Dreams? Thank you for being a vital member of our community. Together, we can keep independent journalism alive when it’s needed most. - Craig Brown, Co-founder |
