Speaking of Francesca Hong
Scot, what do
Democratic strategists make
of democratic socialists?
I mean, listen
for the last 50 years
when a Democratic elected
wants to spend money
that's not on tax cuts
for rich people or corporations
Bill's party
calls them socialists.
They call them welfare.
They call them worse.
I mean, for God's sakes
they were calling his old boss
Tommy Thompson's
signature achievement
BadgerCare here in Wisconsin
welfare.
That's what the
speaker of the Assembly
was calling it.
So, we're a big tent
and the fact is
that when it comes to
people's expenses
when it comes to gas prices
Republicans are a failure
for Wisconsinites
a failure for America.
That's why Democrats are going
to win this
election in the fall
not because of labels
that Republicans have been
putting on us
for 50 years anyhow.
Republicans are putting
that label on?
Well, I mean
Democrats are owning it
and proudly owning it.
I think that's actually worked
to Francesca Hong's advantage.
I mean, she's gone on
national podcast with a guy
named Hasan Piker who's
got several million followers
and she raised $100,000
in one day.
Why?
She's the boldest progressive
in the race.
She's willing to say what
others are not willing to say
and she's willing to be
a democratic socialist.
And none of the others
have attacked her for that.
I can guarantee you
Tom Tiffany is going
to contrast with her
if she ends up getting
through the primary.
