Have the Democrats learned anything after losing the 2024 election in a landslide? Government Accountability Institute Peter Schweizer isn’t so sure…
During a recent episode of The Drill Down, GAI President Peter Schweizer and Vice President Eric Eggers briefly discussed some of the far-left policy positions Democrats have staked out — many, of which, are unpopular with a majority of Americans.
“Progressivism has become a religion,” Schweizer said. “It’s become an object of devotion; a test of one’s obedience to the cause. And I don’t think they’re going to say, ‘The transgender stuff? We don’t believe that anymore. The extreme climate change stuff? We don’t believe it anymore.’ They can’t help themselves and I don’t think they can separate themselves from it.”

True to Mr. Schweizer’s point, former White House press secretary and current MSNBC host Jen Psaki implored Democrats to not be so quick to cede their far-left stances on social issues.
“There’s obviously a lot of soul-searching right now going on within the Democratic Party, and that’s a good thing,” Psaki said. “But what I worry about is that in the course of all of that soul-searching, some Democrats might reach the wrong sweeping conclusions. And there are a lot of issues that fall into that bucket, but one in particular that stuck out to me is transgender rights.”
“Look, reflection is good, but if that were actually an issue at thousands of schools across the country, it would be worthy of a debate, but there are just incredibly few examples of transgender girls playing in youth sports. And when we see those examples, there isn’t evidence that these kids are a threat to safety and fairness,” Psaki claimed. “When I say few examples, I mean that if you were to account the examples of transgender girls playing youth sports in any single state, the number often rounds to zero.”
