ZAKARIA TORCHES DEMS: CNN Host Blasts Dems for Three Major Mistakes in Brutal Takedown [WATCH]

posted by Hannity Staff - 11.11.24

CNN host Fareed Zakaria delivered a brutal takedown of the Democratic Party over the weekend in the wake of Kamala Harris’ historic loss to former President Donald Trump.

For Zakaria, it came down to three things: the border, lawfare, and identity politics.

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

Zakaria also insisted the “overzealous misuse of law to punish Trump” strengthened his stature in the eyes of voters after public opinion had soured on him following the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

“It confirmed to his base what it had always believed — that over-educated urban liberals were hypocrites, happy to bend rules and norms when it suited their purposes,” Zakaria said.

Finally, Zakaria blasted Dems for leaning too hard into identity politics.

“This kind of obsession made Democrats view people too much through their ethnic or racial or gender identities and it made them miss for example that working-class Latinos were moving toward Trump, perhaps because they were socially conservative or liked his macho rhetoric or even agreed with his hardline stance on immigration,” he said.

The CNN host added the left’s focus on identity politics and its alleged battle on free speech via “cancel culture” has become “illiberal.”

“Liberals cannot achieve liberal goals — however virtuous — by illiberal means,” Zakaria said.
