Victor Davis Hanson: Here’s What an Accurate DNC Autopsy Would Say

Episode Description from the Publisher

The Democratic National Committee’s now-released 2024 autopsy came with a few predictable omissions: the New Democrat Party agenda. Why? Because the Jacobin wing of the party refuses to believe that’s why Democrats lost so decisively in 2024. They believed that a war on fossil fuels, open-border policies that let in 10 million-plus illegal aliens, allowing men to compete in women’s sports, and the nature of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan were all great policies worth recognition, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words. “So, in conclusion, if the autopsy wanted to be accurate, it would have done this. We lost the 2024 campaign because we had a radical agenda that reflects the Jacobin neo-socialism of the new party. For us to get elected on a national basis, we have to hide that agenda.” 👉 The Daily Signal cannot continue to tell stories, like this one, without the support of our viewers: http://dailysignal.com/donate 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest short videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.
