The Democratic Party has a new problem, and its name is hypocrisy. Columnist Joe Concha didn't hold back when he called out party leaders for embracing candidates who once would have been political poison.
“These ain’t your daddy’s donkeys,” Concha declared on Fox Business, and he had the evidence to prove it.
Take Maine Senate hopeful Graham Platner. He’s running against Republican Susan Collins, and after Governor Janet Mills dropped out, Platner became the Democratic nominee. Then the photos emerged—a tattoo of the Totenkopf, a famous Nazi symbol. Platner claims he got it drunk in 2007, oblivious to its meaning, and has since covered it up.
Concha didn't mince words. He pointed out that Democrats spent a decade calling Donald Trump a Nazi. Now, apparently, they're willing to embrace an actual Nazi symbol for a chance to win a Senate seat. “You are literally bear-hugging one,” he said.
The hypocrisy stings. Every voter who was told Trump was a fascist is now expected to accept a candidate who once wore fascist ink on his skin. Concha called it “reckless hyperbole” and said the outrage looks “pretty phony right now.”
Then there’s New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani. He ran on affordability, but Concha says his first move will be to jack up property taxes. “You wouldn’t trust him to run a bath, let alone the most complex city in the world,” Concha jabbed.
The real divide isn’t between Democrats and Republicans, Concha argued. It’s between common sense and chaos. And right now, the Socialist wing is running the show.
