Democratic strategist Michael LaRosa said Friday on Fox News that his own party’s relentless use of extreme rhetoric pushed voters away.
Hunter Biden said on “Wide Awake Podcast” that journalist Miranda Devine was “hideous inside and out” and implied no one would care if she died. During an interview on “The Ingraham Angle,” LaRosa responded to a question about how Democrats could defend Biden’s fiery language, which former President Joe Biden has repeatedly praised. LaRosa didn’t mince words.
“My party has been out of control with the hyperbole, the aggressive rhetoric, the Nazis, the fascists, the autocrats, all this stuff,” LaRosa told guest host and former Republican Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz. “Voters are now tuning out, and they’re not even listening to the Democrats anymore because of the alarmism, because of the hyperbole.”
As LaRosa put it, Hunter Biden claimed he was “speaking truth to power.”
WATCH:
“He wants Democrats to turn the temperature up on calling out verifiable lies when MAGA pundits are parroting verifiable lies,” LaRosa said. “Those are his words. That’s what he goes on to say. But I don’t agree, and I don’t condone all of this rhetoric because if everybody’s fascists, if everybody’s Nazis, no one is. And that’s where my party has gone, and we’ve got to stop.”
LaRosa said Democrats are losing voters because they’ve relied too heavily on inflammatory language instead of persuasion. (RELATED: Fetterman Shares The One Line He Won’t Cross As A Democrat)
“It’s really a disservice to history and to the people who actually suffered under dictatorships and Nazis and things like that. So that’s where I disagree with Hunter,” LaRosa said. “But what he’s saying is that Democrats need to turn the temperature up on Republican pundits who are lying, according to him, according to what he goes on to say.”
Rhetoric between the parties escalated when former Vice President Kamala Harris labeled President Donald Trump a fascist and Joe Biden declared Trump should be locked up. This inflamed an already volatile political climate that produced two assassination attempts against Trump — one in July, when a shooter’s bullet grazed him and killed a supporter at a Pennsylvania rally, and another in September, when Secret Service agents arrested an armed man hiding near his Florida golf club.
