The author dismisses the idea that Democrats have been overly restrained or intellectually naive, calling it a myth perpetuated by the media. The piece notes how prominent Democrats and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/news-outlets-issue-major-corrections-after-botching-reports-on-december-phone-call-between-trump-ga-election-investigator\/\" title=\"News Outlets Issue Major Corrections After Botching Reports On December Phone Call Between ..., GA Election Investigator\">major news outlets<\/a> have long labeled former President Trump as a &#8220;bully&#8221; to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/n-y-attorney-generals-office-discovers-astroturf-lobbying-scheme\/\" title=\"N.Y. Attorney General\u2019s office discovers astroturf lobbying scheme\">sway public opinion<\/a>, but argues that Trump was actually confronting powerful political and media establishments rather than bullying weaker opponents.<\/p>\n<p>The article further claims that Democrats have traditionally been shameless and vulgar in politics but have relied on the media to attack their opponents,maintaining an appearance of decency. Trump is credited with breaking this pattern by openly confronting and calling out Democrats without hesitation. Jasmine Crockett is portrayed as a representative of this new,unapologetic Democratic approach. The author, Eddie scarry, suggests that Crockett&#8217;s style is not truly a change but an acceptance of what the Democratic Party has long been.<\/p>\n<p>the article contends that political combativeness is nothing new but that Trump&#8217;s role was unique in challenging the entrenched powers, while Democrats have historically depended on indirect media attacks rather than direct confrontation.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/gageskidmore\/53875451533\/in\/photostream\/\" target=\"_blank\">Gage Skidmore\/Flickr<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/2.0\/deed.en\">\/cc by-sa 2.0<\/a>       <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/07\/30\/the-democrat-party-has-always-been-as-foul-as-jasmine-crockett\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=The%20Democrat%20Party%20Has%20Always%20Been%20As%20Foul%20As%20Jasmine%20Crockett&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/07\/30\/the-democrat-party-has-always-been-as-foul-as-jasmine-crockett\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=The%20Democrat%20Party%20Has%20Always%20Been%20As%20Foul%20As%20Jasmine%20Crockett&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/07\/30\/the-democrat-party-has-always-been-as-foul-as-jasmine-crockett\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\" https:><\/path><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/07\/30\/the-democrat-party-has-always-been-as-foul-as-jasmine-crockett\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=The%20Democrat%20Party%20Has%20Always%20Been%20As%20Foul%20As%20Jasmine%20Crockett&amp;body=%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/07\/30\/the-democrat-party-has-always-been-as-foul-as-jasmine-crockett\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"window.print(); return false;\" title=\"Printer Friendly, PDF &amp; Email\"><span id=\"printfriendly-text2\" class=\"pf-button-text\"><i class=\"mdi mdi-printer\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<p>At the core of The Atlantic&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/politics\/archive\/2025\/07\/jasmine-crockett-democrats\/683652\/?gift=zYCTBrO_7y7KHmiTPdBdgzVDO9uB2knSo9147sSeKYo&amp;utm_source=copy-link&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=share\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">unnecessarily long profile<\/a> on loud Democrat Rep.

Trump, as a political figure, has always been one (elderly) man confronting powerful forces: the Republican establishment, the Democrat establishment, the left-wing entertainment industry, and, most intimidating of all, the monolithic, corrupt national news media. That he was able to hit them where it hurt (often to hilarious effect) didn&rsquo;t make him a bully. It made him the winner.<\/p>\n<p>Let&rsquo;s not forget whose finances were nearly zeroed out. Let&rsquo;s not forget who sat in jeopardy of imprisonment. And let&rsquo;s not forget who was shot, just shy of being killed.<\/p>\n<p>Jasmine Crockett&rsquo;s approach to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/losing-the-race-crass-identity-politics-isnt-what-it-used-to-be-for-democrats-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Losing the race: Crass identity politics isn\u2019t what it used to be for ...s - Washington Examiner\">politics isn&#038;rsquo<\/a>;t new. Democrats have always been vulgar little deviants of no shame. But the difference between pre-Trump and now is that before, Democrats were largely able to rely on the media to do the work of viciously smearing their opponents for them, thus keeping their own hands clean and maintaining a veil of decency.<\/p>\n<p>As vile as he was, you had to respect the late Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, if for nothing other than his tendency to openly express his contempt for his opposition, lying about it with reckless abandon (which was of course excused and tolerated by the media when they weren&rsquo;t busying themselves <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/sections\/codeswitch\/2013\/12\/31\/258680043\/msnbc-host-apologizes-for-comments-on-mitt-romneys-grandson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mocking a Republican&rsquo;s interracial family<\/a>). But virtually every other Democrat got to play &ldquo;norms and values,&rdquo; hiding behind the Washington press, well shielded from any real scrutiny.<\/p>\n<p>Trump changed that. Unlike most Republicans, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/debate-revealed-no-elected-president-really-runs-government\/\" title=\"Debate Revealed No Elected President Really Runs Government\">president isn&#038;rsquo<\/a>;t afraid to do to Democrats what they&rsquo;ve so successfully done to others and hidden from themselves. He&rsquo;s not afraid to call them what they are and, best of all, have fun while he does it.<\/p>\n<p>If Jasmine Crockett is a change for Democrats, it&rsquo;s only in that she&rsquo;s among the first to accept that she can&rsquo;t hide what her party has been all along.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">      Eddie Scarry is the D.C. columnist at The Federalist and author of &#8220;<a href=\"\/\/www.amazon.com\/Liberal-Misery-Hateful-Everything-Everyone\/dp\/1637584350\">Liberal Misery: How the Hateful Left Sucks Joy Out of Everything and Everyone<\/a>.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-author mt-30 mt-sm-60 pt-30 bdr-top-bold-black\">\n<div class=\"row g-0 align-items-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-6\">\n<div class=\"article-author-profile d-flex align-items-center justify-content-center justify-content-md-start\">\n<div class=\"article-author-details\">\n<div class=\"label-md\">Eddie Scarry<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-author-twitter label-sm d-flex align-items-center mt-10\">             <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter me-5\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>             <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Visit on Twitter<\/span>            <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/eScarry\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text-decoration-none\">@eScarry<\/a>           <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-6 d-flex justify-content-center justify-content-md-end mt-15 mt-md-0\">        <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/author\/eddiescarry\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">More Articles<\/a>     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-tags bdr-top-black mt-30 mt-sm-60 pt-15 pt-md-45\">\n<ul class=\"list-unstyled d-flex flex-wrap align-items-center mb-0 mx-n10 p-0\">\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/democrat-party\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Democrat Party<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/democrats\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Democrats<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Donald Trump<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/harry-reid\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Harry Reid<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/hillary-clinton\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Hillary Clinton<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/jasmine-crockett\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">jasmine crockett<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Joe Biden<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/media\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Media<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/new-york-times\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">New York Times<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/republicans\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Republicans<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/washington-post\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Washington Post<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Credit Gage Skidmore\/Flickr\/cc by-sa 2.0 Share on Facebook, Twitter, Truth Social Copy Link Email The Atlantic&#8217;s long profile on Rep.
