Lavora Barnes, chair of the Michigan Democratic Party, was confronted by Forbes about the bitter opposition from voters concerned about Hamas’ war against Israel and the party’s reluctance to meet demands to call for a permanent ceasefire and halt all military aid to the nation’s closest ally.
Barnes made it clear Democrats have no actual solution, and rely instead on painting Trump as a racist in a misleading comparative analysis. “We talk a lot about the truth of who Donald Trump is. We use his own words a lot of the time to remind folks about the things he’s said about immigrants, the things he said specifically about Muslims, the things he said about he would encourage Netanyahu to double and triple down on the work, the hateful work, that he’s already doing in the region,” Barnes said.
The focus, she said, is “just to let them know that while you may not be happy with where the Biden administration is and you may not yet be comfortable with where a Harris administration would be, either of those are much better for this community and for the world than Donald Trump.”
