The Left Eats Itself: Here’s Who Rep. Clyburn Is Blaming For Democrats’ Rock-Bottom Ratings

[Conservative Angle]

​

For generations, the mainstream media has, by and large, carried the water for the establishment Democratic Party.

Although alternative outlets have gained popularity in recent years, the so-called “legacy” media still generally toe the leftist line.

That’s not good enough for some prominent Democrats, though, as Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) admitted in a recent MSNBC interview, per the New York Post:

“I think the message coming from the Democratic Party is a good message,” Clyburn said.

“The problem we’ve got is that we have to depend upon the media to deliver it.”

Host Ali Velshi responded that there are “valid criticisms out there about the fact that there is not a cohesive message coming from the Democratic Party.”

“There were people who said the [2024] protest movement didn’t have the energy that it did after the 2016 election of Donald Trump,” he said.

But the desperate Dem rejected that assessment – instead accusing mainstream media of chasing clicks, with some “caving” to Trump’s influence.

Clyburn’s seemingly absurdist effort to pass the buck comes as his party is facing a crisis of popularity among the American people:

Most insane verbal assault by a leftist I’ve seen yet of someone just because they were wearing a Trump hat.

As The Hill reported late last month:

Thirty-four percent of surveyed Democratic voters and 43 percent of surveyed Black voters, a key constituency within the party, said they disapprove of the party.

“Democrats continue to be seen as out of the mainstream. Their ratings are at record lows and, they will have real problems in the midterms if they can’t lift themselves up from this nadir,” said Mark Penn, the co-director of the poll.

The latest polling matches similarly dismal numbers for Democrats found in other surveys.

Clyburn’s take is particularly notable in the context of his role securing Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential nomination, resulting in an administration that went a long way toward tanking the party’s approval rating:
