  • Pence’s Conservativism is Extinct

    The movement is lousy with authoritarians and crypto-fascists. The movement once had to chase out the Birchers and Anti-Semites; it now has to rid itself of the pestilence of grifters, ersatz Christians, thugs and Flat Earthers.

June 28 – Sen. Chris Murphy, Sen. Roger Marshall, Maggie Haberman & Jonathan Swan
Q: Let's first off start with your reaction to the latest primary results out of New York. You've heard President Trump say that these candidates aren't socialists. He's gone as far as to call them communists. As someone who identifies as a progressive, is this a moment of reckoning for establishment Democrats?
Murphy responds that variation in nomination outcomes shows the party is a big tent and capable of hosting a range of ideas, with a need to balance progressive energy with mainstream support.
