How are Democrats challenging MAGA Republicans publicly?
Look, Democrats are bringing the fight now. Yesterday they were skewering these MAGA Republicans in public hearings and during interviews on cable news. Watch this as Senator Bernie Sanders just laughs in Donald Trump's face, basically mocks Donald Trump. because Trump is trying to act like he draws bigger crowd sizes than Senator Bernie Sanders and AOC, when clearly Bernie Sanders and AOC had much bigger crowd sizes than Trump. Just watch Sanders just laugh in Trump's face. Let's play it.
They hang on for little bits. They hang on for nuggets. And they get crowds. They say, oh, the crowd was... Our crowds are so much bigger than their crowds. Their crowds are small. If I ever had a crowd like their biggest crowd, they'd say it's over for Trump. He's lost the magic.
I think you're a little more than four years older than him.
Something... He didn't tell... I know it will shock the audience. The president did not tell the truth. All right? I realize that will shock everybody. But that's the case. And in terms of the... Not that we want to get into crowd size. Why would anyone want to do that? We had twice the turnout in Warren than he had the other night.
Then you have Democratic Congress member Dan Goldman, who looks at his MAGA Republican colleagues in Congress. He's like, do you all have a single independent thought of your own? Or is it just whatever Donald Trump tells you? Because you are all pathetic. Here, play this clip.
I don't understand how you'll be able to look yourself in the face knowing that you voted to allow our federal government to detain and deport United States citizens simply because you do not want to vote against something that Donald Trump may support. Do you have a thought of your own Do you have a belief of your own or is everything literally just whatever Donald Trump tells you it should be?
Then you have Democratic Congress member Ted Lieu, who says the fact that I even have to introduce an amendment that says ICE cannot deport U.S. citizens is batshit crazy. Here, play this clip.
The fact that Democrats and my colleague Representative Pramila Jayapal feel the need to even introduce an amendment that says ICE cannot deport U.S. citizens is batshit crazy. This should not even be a discussion. It is not even a question. U.S. citizens cannot be deported by ICE. It's the law. It's the Constitution. I will be astounded if Republicans vote no on this. You're back.
We have Democratic Congress member Jamie Raskin mocking Donald Trump for having the lowest approval rating ever since polling has really started in presidential history. Play this clip.
Mr. Chairman, you know, it must be tough. to be an authoritarian. You promise everybody in the world to get elected. Prices will go down on day one. No more inflation. We're going to end Russia's war on Ukraine. The world's going to respect us. And then you get in, and even though you inherit an economy from your predecessor that's described as the envy of the world by The Economist magazine, you crash everything. The economy today is shrinking. The stock market is sinking. Inflation is soaring. $7 trillion in American retirements and wealth has been destroyed. You've plunged us with your imbecilic tariffs into a trade war with the whole world, except, of course, for your bosom buddies in Russia. So now only 100 days in, with 100 unforced policy blunders, you're the most unpopular president at this point in your presidency in more than 80 years. Barack Obama stood at 69% in the polls. Ronald Reagan was at 73% in the polls. Truman was 87%.
And Franklin D. Roosevelt, 68%. But Donald Trump is at 39%. The lowest 100-day approval rating since polling began. He controlled the agenda for 100 days. He controlled the House. He controlled the Senate. He's got everything going for him. And his numbers are in the gutter.
