Dems Say The Darndest Things

We need another Art Linkletter, the late, great TV host who in the 1960s gave us the delightful segments of Kids Say The Darndest Things.

Were he alive today, Linkletter could use same format, but switch it over to the verbal efforts from the political left: Dems Say The Darndest Things.

With the children, they had the excuse of youthful innocence to explain their curious observations. I’m struggling to understand, or explain, where Democrats’ minds are when dispensing their bon mots of late.

Begin with Zohran Mamdani (The Commie), presumptive next mayor of New York City.

Zohran says a lot of inexplicable things, like promising free everything to city residents and proposing higher taxes on businesses throughout the state to pay the freight. Likely he expects a lot of federal money, too, to fund his free bus rides and grocery stores.

But Zohran sees the polls tightening a bit, so he’s playing the victim card and even that’s a reach for those thinking beyond kindergarten level.

Zohran tearfully recounted an “aunt” afraid to wear her hijab on the subway in the wake of the 9-11 terrorist attacks due to Islamophobia.

Where do we start with this pile of goat crap?

First, might the greater victims be the thousands of Americans who died on that day, not Zohran’s “aunt “ being uncomfortable riding the subway in the aftermath.

It gets worse. The “aunt” actually is a cousin of Zohran’s father. She also is deceased and so not available to back up any of this talk.

No matter, argued Zohran, the real point is Islamaphobia and he’s a victim, too.

There must be something about being a rich kid that produces difficulty with the facts.

Gavin Newsom, he of the oiled hair and tall tales, loves to spread whoppers. He slept with his best friend’s wife and incorrectly claimed to have gone to alcohol rehab to cure himself.

He closed California during COVID, but allowed himself to go out to supposedly shut-down fancy restaurants.

Gavin denies statistics that show California to be a crime-infested mess and losing population, even despite throwing out the welcome mat for illegals.

Between oil changes on his hair, Gavin showed up on a podcast claiming childhood poverty, subsisting on Wonder Bread and mac and cheese. But Gavin also had a wine shop while in his early 20s and ran with a crowd including heirs to the massive Getty oil fortune.

Then there is Dem up and comer Jasmine Crock Of It, who paints herself as a child of the ghetto, and adapts an appropriate speaking style, despite having attended a $35,000-a-year private school.

The Crock Of It now is being asked to explain reports that she had quite the investment portfolio she failed to report to Congress, including investments in big pharma, fossil fuel, marijuana and car firms.

It reminds of Bernie Sanders, the supposed anti-oligarch who just happens to have three expensive houses. That’s my kind of socialist.

Then there’s would-be Virginia attorney general Jay Jones and his texts about shooting a political opponent.

Senator Dick Durbin raced to the microphone in the halls of Congress this week to liken ICE arrest and deporatation of illegals to the internment of Japanese here during World War II, neatly forgetting that the Japanese internment was ordered by Democrat Franklin Roosevelt and that the Japanese were citizens here legally.

Other than that, nice try, Dick.

And, finally, we have Eric Swalwell, investigated for liaisons with an alleged Chinese spy, named U Bang Mi, or something like that.

These days, Swalwell has come up with a litmus test to run for president as a Democrat. That would be vowing to tear down the White House ballroom Donald Trump is currently constructing, to the consternation of leftists who fail to realize past presidents have done some remodeling of their own.

Yes, kids — and immature Democrats — do say the darndest things.
