Cartoon The New ‘Face’ of The Democratic Party, Just in time for the Election
The brutal, but accurate cartoon below brilliantly illustrates what the new ‘face’ of the Democrat party truly is.
The GOP has come up with a new label for the Democrat party and it has them howling with rage, because it fits like a glove — “mob:”
Liberal protesters – egged on by Democratic politicians – are openly embracing a more confrontational and aggressive approach, banging on the doors of the Supreme Court, confronting lawmakers outside their offices and chasing GOP officials out of restaurants.
And Republicans are quickly seizing on that spectacle to hammer a new midterm message, decrying the “mob” behavior and warning that Democrats would bring that mentality into the majority should they prevail in November’s election.
“The radical Democrats have turned into an angry mob,” President Trump said at one of many recent campaign-style rallies, a message he’s repeated over and over.
Of course, Democrats are howling about being called a mob, even though it’s exactly what they have devolved into:
But Democrats — as well as some sympathetic figures in the media — are defending the protests and arguing the “mob” label is unfair, even though the term was regularly used by critics to refer to the Tea Party protests during the Obama administration.
“Women across the country came together around this nomination to say #MeToo, to stand up against sexual abusers and harassers,” Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., tweeted this week, referring to the protests against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. “And all Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, and Republican leaders have to say to them is that they’re a mob. Disgraceful.”
Some media figures, including CNN anchors Don Lemon and Brooke Baldwin, also have taken offense at the word “mob” being used to describe protesters.
“Is it mob behavior? No, it’s not mob behavior. It’s people who are upset and they’re angry with the way the country is going,” Lemon said this week.
In another television segment this week, Baldwin took exception to the use of the term when discussing Cruz and his wife being pestered out of a restaurant by protesters.
“Oh, you’re not going to use the mob word here,” Baldwin said to a guest, adding: “Stop, stop. A mob is what we saw in Charlottesville, Virginia two Augusts ago.”
