After having that revelation, \u201cMorning Joe\u201d host Joe Scarborough and his guest went on to blame the extremism in \u201cboth parties\u201d on\u2026 Russia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs you know, the American people had a choice last November,\u201d Scarborough told guest Kasie Hunt, who hosts the network\u2019s early morning show that precedes his own. \u201cThey thought the Democrats were way out of the mainstream. That\u2019s why a party led by Kevin McCarthy in the House outperformed anybody\u2019s wildest expectations. He picked up 10 seats. That\u2019s why they have a chance to take over the majority in the House of Representatives next year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know a lot of progressives, a lot of my friends don\u2019t like to hear this,\u201d continued Scarborough, whose wife and co-host Mika Brzezinski was on vacation. \u201cBut they had a choice, and there are a lot of Americans who would rather elect somebody who would say no to what they consider to be a radical agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHey, yeah, we progressives went too far Left, even for a lot of Hispanics\u201d last year, he said. \u201cThat\u2019s why we were -9 with Hispanics against a guy who said racist things against Hispanics.\u201d While it\u2019s true that Donald Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-usa-election-exitpoll\/trump-gains-with-latinos-loses-some-white-voters-exit-polls-idUSKBN27J2T9\">gained modestly<\/a> among the Latino vote in 2020, Biden won a lopsided majority of that demographic. <a href=\"https:\/\/latino.ucla.edu\/research\/latino-voters-in-2020-election\/\">A post-election report<\/a> by the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/latino.ucla.edu\/\">UCLA Latino Policy and Politics Initiative<\/a> of 13 key states found that Biden won the Hispanic vote three to one in nine states. \u201cOnly in Florida was Biden\u2019s margin among Latino voters less than 2 to 1,\u201d it <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.ucla.edu\/releases\/latino-vote-analysis-2020-presidential-election\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the Democrats underperformed expectations among Hispanics in 2020 \u2014 a fact former President Barack Obama blamed on Hispanics\u2019 Christian worldview. \u201cThere are a lot of evangelical Hispanics who, the fact that Trump says racist things about Mexicans, or puts undocumented workers in cages, they think that\u2019s less important than the fact that he supports their views on gay marriage or abortion,\u201d Obama <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/obama-makes-bizarre-excuse-for-evangelical-hispanics-voting-trump-ignoring-illegals-in-cages-trumps-racism\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s not merely Hispanics who find Obama\u2019s party out-of-touch, and not just on those two social issues.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.gallup.com\/poll\/350174\/mixed-views-among-americans-transgender-issues.aspx\">62%<\/a> of Americans believe transgender athletes should only compete on teams that match their biological sex, according to a Gallup poll. Hardly one-third of U.S. voters believe biological males should compete against biological females, which would be ushered in by the Equality Act, legislation officially supported by the Democratic Party <a href=\"https:\/\/democrats.org\/where-we-stand\/party-platform\/healing-the-soul-of-america\/\">platform<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration has similarly staked out an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-biden-announces-executive-order-crackdown-on-guns-new-anti-gun-atf-director\">adversarial position<\/a> on Second Amendment rights, even as the number of gun sales surged at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/gun-sales-in-2020-set-new-record\">record-setting<\/a> pace in 2020 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/data-shows-april-marks-the-13th-straight-month-of-record-gun-sales\">continued into 2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And the Democratic Party\u2019s official platform position of taxpayer-funded abortion throughout all nine months of pregnancy puts it far outside the mainstream of even most voters who support abortion. <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/dec1f82c4c630cb97ab7cefc58cf0866\">Two-thirds<\/a> of self-described \u201cpro-choice\u201d voters oppose abortions in the third trimester, according to a 2019 poll. A 2021 poll found that 58% of Americans think it\u2019s wrong to force taxpayers to fund abortions at home, and a whopping <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sba-list.org\/polling#tax-funding\">77% oppose taxpayer-funded abortions<\/a> overseas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, Mitch McConnell is the majority leader in a 50-50 Senate,\u201d Scarborough concluded, \u201cbut it\u2019s not as if Democrats can\u2019t figure out a way to start winning more elections in middle America. They may just choose not to elect the kind of candidate that could challenge the Republican Party, that could challenge Mitch McConnell.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hunt agreed that Biden\u2019s attempts to sell himself as a moderate, at least until he got into office, paid off.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoe Biden was very careful about making sure to include those middle of the road \u2026 at least when he was a candidate,\u201d she said, \u201ctelling the rest of his party to say, \u2018Hey you know, yeah, I am progressive, but I\u2019m not going to go where these other folks are going, and I\u2019m confident that that\u2019s going to lead me to victory.\u2019 And it did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She then somehow connected the two parties\u2019 polarization with perfidious Russian meddling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe extremes in both parties are now dictating what everyone else is doing,\u201d she said. \u201cYou pull in what\u2019s going on overseas \u2014 I mean, the Russians are actively encouraging this by using social media to try and divide us even further. And the goal, of course, is to separate us from our European allies, weaken democracy around the world. And you can really argue that they\u2019ve been incredibly successful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, you sure can,\u201d Scarborough replied. \u201cAnd unfortunately, too many people have played right into Vladimir Putin\u2019s hands by spreading a lot of lies that come straight out of Russia\u2019s firehose of falsehood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is true, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-usa-trump-russia-socialmedia\/russia-used-social-media-for-widespread-meddling-in-u-s-politics-reports-idUSKBN1OG257\">according<\/a> to Reuters, that Russian cyberwarfare attempted \u201cto divide Americans by race and extreme ideology, said reports by private experts released [in 2018] by U.S. senators from both parties.\u201d It\u2019s unclear what role Moscow played in the writing of the Democratic Party\u2019s 2020 platform \u2014 or the extremism regularly broadcast on outlets like MSNBC.<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire<\/em>.<\/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.
