The White House chief of staff\u2019s apparent cozy disposition toward the Democratic Party\u2019s extreme Left has soured many of the party\u2019s moderate members, according to reports.<\/p>\n<p>NBC News interviewed dozens of administration officials, congressional officials, and Democratic allies on Klain\u2019s popularity on Capitol Hill. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/white-house\/klain-under-scrutiny-biden-struggles-n1287801\">outlet<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><em>The main criticisms of Klain, whether from current or former Biden staff members or those who consider themselves allies of the president, flow from a single idea: that Biden has strayed from his core brand as a pragmatic, empathetic politician who won the Democratic nomination as a moderate willing to compromise. They see Klain as the person responsible for that. His&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/white-house\/ron-klain-has-one-busiest-jobs-d-c-one-most-n1259488\">ubiquitous presence on Twitter<\/a>&nbsp;has solidified that view, particularly for those who see it as being out of step with a 2020 campaign that deliberately tuned out cable news pundits and \u201cblue checks\u201d on social media.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The White House defended Klain\u2019s record to NBC News, saying that much criticism of the White House chief of staff is driven by \u201cpolitics, personal score-settling and constraints that the coronavirus has put on Biden\u2019s ability to reach out,\u201d according to NBC News.<\/p>\n<p>A Politico report echoed the reported anti-Klain view of many Democrats. At one point last fall as Biden\u2019s agenda was stalling in Congress, one Democratic lawmaker said \u201cRon Klain should be fired.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/01\/21\/ron-klain-hot-water-527570\">Politico<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n<p><em>For months, moderate Democrats in Congress have complained that Klain is overly deferential to their liberal colleagues, to the point where some members and Hill staff privately said he needed to be replaced. With Biden\u2019s domestic agenda stalling out, the Covid pandemic lingering and inflation rising, second guessing of his leadership is now coming from a wider swath of the party and even some corners of the administration.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe president was elected because we all thought he was going to be good at governing,\u201d said a House Democratic lawmaker, who spoke candidly about Klain on condition of anonymity. \u201cHe was going to govern from the center, he was going to work with Republicans. And to have a chief of staff that apparently has decided that he\u2019s going to be Bernie Sanders, I think that\u2019s confusing. It\u2019s just not helpful.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Klain is arguably most active publicly on Twitter where he serves as one of the White House\u2019s chief apologists, pushing Biden\u2019s message and defending the president\u2019s record. Klain\u2019s Twitter usage has also put the White House in difficult positions.<\/p>\n<p>Klain once retweeted a post that referred to Biden\u2019s order mandating large employers vaccinate or regularly test their employees for COVID-19 as \u201cthe ultimate work-around\u201d to problematic constitutional issues. That post has made repeat appearances in legal challenges to Biden\u2019s rule as critics attack it as unconstitutional.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
