Newsbusters By Matthew Seck
On Monday’s CNN NewsNight, host Abby Phillip asked panelists about recent comments from former President Obama, where he called on Democrats to stop “whining” when it comes to winning back the presidency. Substack writer Brad Polumbo called out political commentators Ana Navarro and Maria Cardona for fearmongering, playing the race card, and lying when they responded to Phillip’s questions.
Polumbo instantly called out Navarro after she said people were “Defying the fear, defying the reign of terror and retribution that Donald Trump is trying to impose on America,” when talking about the No Kings protests:
No, I mean, I understand what you’re saying, I think you’re definitely being hyperbolic, you talk about a reign of terror. When the doomsday alarm from Democrats or from media critics is always at a ten, it doesn’t hit the same.
Polumbo went on to say it’s not specifically how the Democrats deliver their messaging, it’s that their policies are unpopular to begin with. Polumbo cited gender transitioning minors as one message that’s unpopular, leading to this exchange:
POLUMBO: The Democrats have allowed themselves to become the party that stood in almost uniform behind child sex changes across America–
MARIA CARDONA: That’s just not true—
POLUMBO: I’m sorry, I can explain it in 30 seconds how true it is. Joe Biden brought Dylan Mulvaney to the White House for an interview, talking about how important it was to keep those procedures legal in all 50 states. Every Democrat after the recent Supreme Court decision, almost every Democrat in Washington, put out a statement decrying it, that states would dare regulate puberty blockers being given to 11 or 12 year olds. On the border, on inflation, there are many issues where it’s not a messaging issue, the policy is also the problem for Democrats.
CARDONA: So, what I would say is that on that piece, that is not true. Democrats did not campaign on that.
POLUMBO: Transitioning minors is not dignified; it’s abhorrent.
CARDONA: Did Democrats defend the dignity of the LGBTQ, including the trans community? Yes, and they will continue to do that. What I will say is that Republicans totally used that issue, completely weaponized, lying about what Kamala was running on, lying about what Democrats were lying on, and they did it brilliantly, and we didn’t fight back enough.
Unfortunately for Maria Cardona, saying something isn’t true doesn’t magically make it so. She falsely claimed Democrats didn’t even campaign on the issue, but in a 2019 ACLU questionnaire, Kamala checked yes on a box asking if she would use executive power to ensure transgender people would receive transition drugs in prison.
