Democrats Are Forming A Circular Firing Squad

It’s been a rough 24 hours for Democrats. After thinking they were getting their problems in Virginia under control, the wheels came off. And beyond Virginia, there are signs of cracking as the extreme left is preparing for a civil war for control of the party, led by none other than New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the people who made her. We cover it all and more on today’s edition of The Daily Daily Caller Podcast.

The drama in Virginia continues. Just when it seemed like things couldn’t get worse than having a Democratic governor admitting to dressing up in blackface, the lieutenant governor has allegations of sexual assault against him surfacing. The party of “#BelieveAllWomen” during the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings is now dealing with those chickens coming home to roost as Justin Fairfax is attempting to fend off an accusation that he forced a woman to perform a sex act on him in 2004.

Turns out, that in an attempt to quash the story, Fairfax actually made it worse when he said the Washington Post found “significant red flags and inconsistencies within the allegations.” This caused the Post to come out and deny that assertion and report what they’d heard, but were unable to corroborate. You know you’ve had a bad day when you’re a bigger story than a white governor in blackface.

Democrats blocked an attempt in the Senate to unambiguously criminalize infanticide, claiming the new bill was unnecessary because it was already illegal. That’s exactly what Virginia Delegate Kathy Tran claimed when defending her bill that started this whole mess in Virginia for Gov. Ralph Northam. If her bill made no changes in existing law, why was it necessary?

Democrats have lined up a clown car of victims to be their guests at tonight’s State of the Union Address. Illegal aliens, formerly furloughed federal workers, radical environmental activists, transgender soldiers — you name the identity group and a Democrat has invited someone from it to be their guest at the speech.

A Democrat once blamed the U.S. for inspiring terrorism, Nancy Pelosi’s favorite Bible verse isn’t in the Bible, a rap star is facing deportation, and the Democrats are on the verge of a purge and a civil war— all this and more on the today’s show, don’t miss it.

The Daily Daily Caller Podcast is a daily look and mocking of the news from a conservative perspective. Hosted by Derek Hunter, it is available in audio form Monday-Thursday and will have a video option on Fridays.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
