The Roots of Leftist Rage

Source: Town Hall
by Victor Davis Hanson

“Across the political left [sic], from orthodox Democrats to Antifa in the streets, the opposition to President Donald Trump has lost its collective mind. The House minority leader and now self-styled tough guy, New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, poses with a baseball bat to show how dangerous he is in opposing Trump’s budget bill. Jeffries harangued Congress for eight hours; New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker went on for 25 — both to no effect. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hit the rally trail in private jets to rail about oligarchs, omitting that the ultra-rich are not only mostly leftists but also the funders of the Democratic Party. … The racialist Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett … gains headlines for monotonously ranting about old white men.” (07/11/25)
