JASON CHAFFETZ: Democrats have a major problem and they can't fake their way out of it

Following an predetermination successful which voters overwhelmingly rejected the fake competence of Vice President Kamala Harris and the fake lucidity of President Joe Biden, Democrats person opted to treble down connected fake.

Choreographed creation videos, duplicate societal media posts, contrived municipality hallway protesters and a abrupt newfound aversion to zero-emission vehicles each shriek insincerity. There is thing genuine astir it. 

This week, a devastating divided surface went viral, featuring the erstwhile faces of Senators Schumer, Warren, and Booker, who had each recorded videos of themselves trying to dependable earthy portion speechmaking word-for-word from the nonstop aforesaid script. The words, (of chartless authorship), were emblematic of the deficiency of authenticity plaguing the flailing party.

No 1 is buying what Democrats are selling; it’s each fake. The outrage implicit immoderate of Trump’s astir fashionable policies is simply a sham. The juxtaposition of impotent Democrats against the breakneck gait of the existent Trump medication does them nary favors.

Voters tin spot that portion Trump and Vance are having fun, Democrats are having conniptions. The opposition is stark. As the president and vice president look to bask their verbal jousting with media and protesters, the progressive near look to beryllium losing their minds, flailing with fake tears of exasperation.

Democrats can’t fake cool.  

The world is, their leaders travel crossed childish, insincere, and desperate, not to notation old, tired, grumpy, and wholly retired of touch. Who tin subordinate to the likes of Schumer, Sanders, Durbin, and Warren? 

Meanwhile, their protestors person mislaid the plot, projecting an clasp of violence, lawlessness, and authorities corruption. The enactment offers nary location for accepted wide Democrats, working-class people, privateness advocates, anti-war leftists, oregon Israel-supporting Jews.

Their cautiously curated and choreographed messaging bears nary resemblance to the urgent demands of a twelvemonth ago. Supposedly, Democrats were each astir electrical vehicles. Not anymore.

Remember however Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was administering billions of dollars to physique a nationalist web of electrical charging stations? (Americans got thing for this boondoggle.) Democrats adjacent advocated authorities to destruct gas-powered vehicles successful favour of electrical vehicles. AOC personally bought a Tesla.  

Now, the connection has reversed. Alas, their fealty to electrical cars was besides fake. Teslas are present bad; protesting and destroying them is good. Chaos is good erstwhile they bash it. 

Democratic women astatine the Joint Session of Congress wore pink, successful theory, to enactment women, but they can’t specify what a pistillate is, nor could they perchance enactment excluding men from participating successful women’s sports. Their fake enactment of women falls isolated erstwhile they really person to basal up for women.

When President Trump tried to talk of the aureate property of America that night, the Democrats couldn’t muster the spot to applaud. They failed to basal for a young crab fighter, a antheral fulfilling his imagination of attending West Point, a pistillate unfortunate of heavy fake bullying pushing back, oregon a 95-year-old parent whose lad was backmost from being held successful Russia. Who are the Democrats truly warring for with their "resistance" movement?

In 2024, they defended censorship to woody with "misinformation" connected societal media – present they attraction profoundly astir the escaped code of Hamas supporters, a designated violent organization, connected US soil. Videos circulate of Democrats who antecedently criticized waste, fraud, and maltreatment present warring to support the gravy bid running. We tin each spot that they’ve done a 180 from opposing to defending waste. The duplicity is mislaid connected nary one.

Coming disconnected of a statesmanlike run successful which they each pretended to emotion Kamala Harris, who couldn’t drawstring unneurotic an authentic sentence, these latest antics ooze insincerity.  

Contrast that with a President Trump who cheerfully pops successful connected White House tours, has candid, astir regular exchanges with the press, works the McDonald’s drive-through window, and shares irreverent memes connected societal media. It’s not adjacent a just fight. Donald Trump is unapologetically himself.

Voters are finished with the Democrats’ choreographed and curated enactment model. Their consultants, immoderate of whom are their household members, are getting rich, but their efforts to rebuild and refresh their enactment are going backwards.

The party’s full premise was based connected part and people warfare. It was not astir the precise principles that marque our state great.  

Far beryllium it from maine to springiness the Democrats advice. As agelong arsenic they support doing what they’re doing, the republic is apt harmless from their fake leadership.
