Tom Brokaw Blasts New, Leftist House Dems 'Running through Halls'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/22/2019 7:29:54 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Here's looking at you, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez . . .

Saying that he blames the Democrats as much as the Republicans for the current DC disarray, Tom Brokaw, appearing on today's Morning Joe, said, "you've got the young people running through the halls, who are the new members of Congress, who are conducting pep rallies every day." Brokaw described the Dems being "driven hard by the left."

“She was doing a lot of activist things during the day and working as a bartender or waitress at night to pay the bills. That might seem like failure for a college grad, but look where she is today.”

I don’t think she got where she is due to hard work, skill, or intelligence. It’s my opinion that she’s charismatic, and some very powerful people noticed. I think AOC is backed by some serious money.

In short, like the girl working at the drugstore who was noticed by a producer and became a starlet, AOC got lucky.

“Brought to us by the Clinton Crime Family.”

Yes, and the left, as well as some RINOs have the audacity to say that Trump is demeaning the presidency..

I wouldn’t put Huntley and Brinkley in the same boat with Cronkite and Donaldson or today’s kooks like Stetler and Mika

Not by intelligence, that's for sure. Or by patient and diligent study. She did get lucky.

But nobody really thought she was going to beat a top House Democrat, so whoever was staking her early on probably didn't give her much or expect her to get so far so fast.

So luck, and what you could call charisma. Also a lot of energy and an instinct to run to where the cameras are, and an uninhibitedness - a lack of shame or embarrassment.

No, he thinks the young ones are showing too much of the truth to the voting public.

This is the truth.

“... an instinct to run to where the cameras are, and an uninhibitedness - a lack of shame or embarrassment.”

Basic qualities of a Democrat politician.

This! Brokaw is upset because Democrats can’t advance their agenda behind a moderate facade anymore, while portraying Republicans as right-wing extremists (And then Republicans cave under the guise of bipartisanship).

No sympathy, Tom. The question is, what are you going to do about it? And the answer is nothing.

Do you love it, do you hate it?
There it is, the way you made it.
