CNN host Fareed Zakaria gives 3 reasons why Harris lost to Trump in ousting Dems

CNN host Fareed Zakaria listed three key reasons why Vice President Kamala Harris lagged badly against Donald Trump in last week’s election — and even slammed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg in his ouster of the Democrat on Sunday. Overtook also.

Zakaria claimed that the Biden administration’s mishandling of the southern border was due to its “gross abuse of the law to punish Trump” and the left’s obsession with “identity politics.” Everyone promoted Trump’s victory Last Tuesday he had secured 312 electoral votes.

The first mistake the Democratic Party made, Zakaria said, was its ignorance of the collapse of the immigration system and the chaos at the border. His cable television show.

“The asylum system that was meant for a small number of persecuted individuals was being used by millions of people to gain legal entry,” he said. “Instead of shutting this down, liberals labeled anyone who protested as heartless and racist. They missed the massive shift in American public opinion in just a few years.

Zakaria argued that, when Harris, 60, appeared on “The View” and infamously said she wouldn’t do anything different from a Biden White House, she should have said she “should have closed the border in the first place.” “.

Zakaria also emphasized that Trump’s “egregious abuse of the law to punish” him strengthened his standing in the eyes of voters after public opinion of him deteriorated following the riot at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Did.

The CNN host said the “most egregious” example was the case prosecuted by leftist District Attorney Bragg in Manhattan. he noted at the time Bragg once suspected He faced pressure from the Left to prosecute him in a case of falsifying business records prosecute,

He said, “Some of the cases, like the one in Georgia, were legitimate, but those cases came one after another quickly, giving the impression that the legal system was being weaponized to get Trump.”

“It confirmed to his base what he had always believed – that more educated urban liberals were hypocrites, happy to bend rules and norms when it suited their purposes.”

Trump was 78 Convicted in 34 felony cases in the Manhattan case last June and still faces two federal trials and a state case in Georgia in which he is accused of unlawfully interfering in the Peach State’s 2020 election results. those are the remaining cases There is no hope of moving forward now.

Zakaria ultimately criticized Democrats over “the dominance of identity politics on the left”, arguing that many Americans have been locked out of urban educational bubbles.

She said Latinos found it strange when liberals started using the gender-neutral term Latinx.

“That kind of obsession forced Democrats to look at people too much based on their ethnic or racial or gender identity and it caused them to miss, for example, that working-class Latinos were moving toward Trump, perhaps because Because they were socially conservative or liked his macho rhetoric or even agreed with his tough stance on immigration,” he said.

The CNN host said the left’s focus on identity politics and its purported fight on free speech through “cancel culture” has become “illiberal.”

Zakaria said, “No matter how good liberals are, liberal goals cannot be achieved by non-liberal means.”
