HEIR APPARENTS
The 25-person profile and accompanying pictures are stunning in revealing how out-of-touch and unserious the next generation of Democrats are.
Hey y’all, welcome to another edition of Unfit to Print.
The Democrats’ supposed rising stars leave a lot to be desired — as does the photoshoot highlighting these fresh(ish) faces.
HEIR APPARENTS
New York Magazine has identified 25 “young(ish)” Democrats that may be the future of the party. The group was nominated by nearly three dozen left-wing strategists and commentators, including James Carville, Hasan Piker, Neera Tanden, Tommy Vietor, and David Hogg.
There was a hint last month that some kind of Democratic media profile was cooking. Rep. Maxwell Frost was spotted mid-government shutdown posing for photos in a red leather armchair in front of the Capitol building.
“Instead of *working* & voting to end the Democrat shutdown, Florida Democrat Maxwell Frost dragged a leather chair outside to do a cover photo shoot,” the National Republican Congressional Committee tweeted. “Not serious people!”
Indeed, the grownup version of the Blue Clues chair — described in the article as “a weathered tufted armchair” — played a prominent role in the New York Mag piece. Apparently no one told the Democrats it might not be great optics to sit in a quasi-throne ahead of the second round of the “No Kings” protests.
The 25-person profile and accompanying pictures are stunning in revealing how out-of-touch and unserious the next generation of Democrats are.
The first person on the list is Rep. Sara Jacobs, an heir to the Qualcomm chips fortune, who represents California’s 51st congressional district (she previously represented the 53rd). She is featured sitting on the red chair wearing a tight blue weather girl dress in the back of a pickup truck next to the southern border wall. Unfortunately for her, the 51st district was redrawn in 2020 prior to her election and no longer touches the border with Mexico.
Next up is Saikat Chakrabarti, a “multimillionaire tech engineer” who served as AOC’s chief of staff and helped write the Green New Deal. Do you think AOC’s plans to “tax the rich” include him?
Further down the list is James Talarico, a Democrat running for Senate described as “Joe Rogan-approved” (that would be an attack line on a Republican), who is pictured lounging on the chair on a football field. I thought maybe he was a football coach or something, but I think they just put him there to make him look relatable because he’s from Texas or something. In high school, he was on the debate team and did theater, because of course he did. His primary opponent, Colin Allred, actually did play football professionally.
Of course, they couldn’t leave out the “Maine oyster farmer” Graham Platner, even with his Nazi tattoo scandal and old Reddit posts calling his potential constituents racist. His red chair sits on his oyster boat as opposed to in his dad’s law office or one of his grandfather’s architectural achievements.
Proof that the Democrats won’t let go of identity politics, several of the profiles feature mentions of the nominee being the “first black woman” to do this or the “first Asian woman” to do that and the “first Iranian American woman” to do another thing. Gag.
Rep. Ritchie Torres, a “centrist” pro-Israel Democrat in New York, sits on a red chair in front of a bus station in the Bronx. Shockingly, the bus that appears to be on its way to run him over does not say “Mamdani” on it.
Frost is up next and shockingly his shot in front of the Capitol building is nowhere to be found. Instead, his official red chair picture was taken in his “second apartment” in Washington, D.C. He’s immediately followed by Arizona Rep. Yassamin Ansari, who lobbied the Trump administration to “bring home” illegal alien and accused MS-13 gang member, domestic abuser, and human trafficker Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
It couldn’t get worse, could it?
Welp, I spoke too soon.
There’s Kat Abughazaleh, the former Media Matters hack running for Congress. She is currently under indictment for blocking federal law enforcement proceedings by throwing herself in front of an ICE vehicle. Stickers emblazoned on her laptop include “Sluts Vote,” “Elon Musk fucking sucks,” Trans Rights,” and “Anti-Fascism” styled in the Coca-Cola font. Having a normal one!
Immediately following is Arizona State Sen. Analise Ortiz, who alerts illegals to ICE raids in her district and describes deportations as “kidnappings.”
Next up is a dude pretending to be a woman, Montana State Rep. “Zooey Zephyr,” in a costume-like galaxy dress and his legs draped over the side of the Blues Clues chair. Zephyr accuses politicians who vote for bans on sex changes for kids of having “blood on their hands.”
I won’t bore you — or torture you — with the rest of the 25 rising stars for the Democrats. I think I’ve made my point.
