(DCNF)—RealClearPolitics Co-Founder and President Tom Bevan joined SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly on Thursday, laughing at Democrats’ struggles to meme and saying the party seems left out of the “gag.”
Democrats have been fuming since President Donald Trump posted an AI-generated video of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries with a mustache and sombrero, while Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s voice was altered to say how much their party is hated. Since the video dropped Monday, Kelly said on “The Megyn Kelly Show” that it seems Democrats aren’t “getting their message across,” a point Bevan agreed with. “I think that’s right. One of the most interesting things about politics over the last few years is that Democrats don’t know how to meme. They can’t meme. And Republicans, and Trump in particular, and the MAGA folks have mastered the art, and they continue to do it,” Bevan said. “So they do this Sombrero thing. And then Hakeem Jeffries comes out with this indignant, ‘Say it to my face’ or whatever. Then they put a Sombrero on that.”
“It’s become a running gag now that everybody is in on, it seems like, except for the Democrats who are busy yelling that this is racist,” Bevan added. “There was just one where they put a Sombrero on JD Vance, and he was talking in sort of Spanglish about how he can’t compromise. He can’t negotiate with the Democrats because they’re, ‘retardo.’”
The video posted on Trump’s Truth Social came just before Senate Democrats, led by Schumer, shut down the government Tuesday by opposing a GOP spending bill. Despite Democrats, including Hakeem Jeffries, blasting the meme as “disgusting” and “racist,” Trump has continued posting versions of Jeffries with a sombrero, mustache, and mariachi music in the background.
Republicans hammered Democrats over the shutdown. Democrats tried to counter with a livestream that ran for more than 10 hours, according to Politico. But the stream was riddled with technical glitches and, at times, only drew a few dozen viewers, the outlet reported.
Bevan went on to call out the Democrats’ new age “telethon,” saying the party “really seem to be just sort of flailing about.”
“The question is, ‘OK, well how much is this going to hurt them politically?’ Or are we just living in two completely different information bubbles where the left thinks the Democrats, they’re with them, and the right is obviously with Republicans?” Bevan asked. “So there’s very little political damage that can come from this.”
“On the other hand, they’re definitely not helping themselves, I don’t think. And I think it’s clear to everyone that they are the obstacle to opening the government. So they will pay a political price, but it’s just a question of how much will they pay,” Bevan said.
In addition to the livestream, Democrats posted a video on their party’s Instagram Wednesday captioned, “Gov shutdown but it’s cats.” The clip showed kittens representing Republicans and Democrats, with the GOP blamed for the shutdown.
Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom also tried to mimic Trump’s viral sombrero meme, posting on X a video turning House Speaker Mike Johnson into a minion and captioning it, “Trump’s Minion Mike lies to the American people.”
