“You’re ranting,” DCCC chair Rep. Sean Maloney says in an attempt to rebuke Joe Scarborough, but it only made the host of MSNBC’s Morning Joe angrier. Scarborough wanted to know how House Democrats planned to defend their razor-thin majority in the midterms next year while progressives keep pushing socialism and “Defund the Police” messaging — which led to unexpected losses last year. Scarborough argued that those messages never got toned down or contextualized effectively — and that he sees the same disaster unfolding already.

It doesn’t take divination to see how little that lesson sunk into Democratic consciousness. House Democrats have spent their first few months of this session pushing radical agenda items like court-packing, the federalization of elections, massive tax-and-spend policies, and cheering on Defund the Police efforts. Scarborough sees the backlash they are courting with this embrace of socialism and radical deconstruction of institutions like federalism and the Supreme Court, especially in an election cycle that traditionally works against the governing party. Scarborough is frustrated that Democratic leadership can’t see it, and likely won’t until it is far too late.
