DNC Chair Hopeful Marianne Williamson Calls Dem Party ‘Tarnished Brand’: ‘Republicans Have Stolen Patriotism!’

Williamson and that the ░░░░░░░░ Party is a tarnished ░░░░░░░░ that the way things ░░░░░░░░ been going didn t ░░░░░░░░ And so it s ░░░░░░░░ to open this thing ░░░░░░░░ This depression of any ░░░░░░░░ other than the establishment ░░░░░░░░ you know internal inside ░░░░░░░░ club people who are ░░░░░░░░ do everything the same ░░░░░░░░ the way they do ░░░░░░░░ no matter what if ░░░░░░░░ want to continue the ░░░░░░░░ of decline then you ░░░░░░░░ with that Right now ░░░░░░░░ people who are running ░░░░░░░░ the DNC chair are ░░░░░░░░ about a 20th century ░░░░░░░░ toolkit they re talking ░░░░░░░░ administrative expertise and function ░░░░░░░░ is extremely important whether ░░░░░░░░ has to do with ░░░░░░░░ analysis 50 state strategy ░░░░░░░░ base whether it has ░░░░░░░░ with fundraising all those ░░░░░░░░ are important but they ░░░░░░░░ not enough If we ░░░░░░░░ going to actually create ░░░░░░░░ political phenomena that can ░░░░░░░░ MAGA remember President Elect ░░░░░░░░ has has created this ░░░░░░░░ adrenaline rush with a ░░░░░░░░ emotional and psychological hold ░░░░░░░░ masses of American people ░░░░░░░░ only has he drawn ░░░░░░░░ to him he has ░░░░░░░░ masses away from us ░░░░░░░░ have a very frayed ░░░░░░░░ of affection with millions ░░░░░░░░ Americans particularly working people ░░░░░░░░ the United States We ░░░░░░░░ to address the problem ░░░░░░░░ that level on the ░░░░░░░░ of the heart and ░░░░░░░░ level of the might ░░░░░░░░ aren t feeling about ░░░░░░░░ anymore at least not ░░░░░░░░ of them to make ░░░░░░░░ the kind of victory ░░░░░░░░ we need in 26 ░░░░░░░░ 28 Reporter Well it ░░░░░░░░ interesting because there s ░░░░░░░░ lot of people like ░░░░░░░░ Gabbard RFK Jr even ░░░░░░░░ Bernie bros who left ░░░░░░░░ Democratic Party because they ░░░░░░░░ the party just didn ░░░░░░░░ represent them anymore But ░░░░░░░░ re doubling down and ░░░░░░░░ I m staying with ░░░░░░░░ Democrats I m staying ░░░░░░░░ the party and I ░░░░░░░░ to run the DNC ░░░░░░░░ Williamson Because a lot ░░░░░░░░ the people that you ░░░░░░░░ mentioned and I hear ░░░░░░░░ them often suggested I ░░░░░░░░ a Republican I m ░░░░░░░░ a Republican I don ░░░░░░░░ have a Republican soul ░░░░░░░░ have a Democratic soul ░░░░░░░░ when people like to ░░░░░░░░ about someone like myself ░░░░░░░░ s trying to hijack ░░░░░░░░ party no no no ░░░░░░░░ they hijacked the party ░░░░░░░░ principles and my political ░░░░░░░░ go back to Eleanor ░░░░░░░░ Franklin Roosevelt they re ░░░░░░░░ Whitneys and the Duponts ░░░░░░░░ the Morgans who took ░░░░░░░░ over with this corporatist ░░░░░░░░ where it s more ░░░░░░░░ the donors in too ░░░░░░░░ cases than it is ░░░░░░░░ the suffering of the ░░░░░░░░ people And so I ░░░░░░░░ to reclaim the Democratic ░░░░░░░░ for what I believe ░░░░░░░░ the traditional values of ░░░░░░░░ Democratic Party are Reporter ░░░░░░░░ right so if you ░░░░░░░░ at the list now ░░░░░░░░ DNC chair it s ░░░░░░░░ now of five people ░░░░░░░░ you a woman a ░░░░░░░░ of color and four ░░░░░░░░ men So given how ░░░░░░░░ lost the Hispanics lost ░░░░░░░░ lost union voters the ░░░░░░░░ class does this slate ░░░░░░░░ leaders I mean we ░░░░░░░░ where you stand but ░░░░░░░░ this slate of leaders ░░░░░░░░ look like what the ░░░░░░░░ needs right now Williamson ░░░░░░░░ don t think I ░░░░░░░░ it s about the ░░░░░░░░ of a leader Listen ░░░░░░░░ is some ethical corruption ░░░░░░░░ the way the Democratic ░░░░░░░░ Committee was working during ░░░░░░░░ election I know because ░░░░░░░░ was there One of ░░░░░░░░ people who was a ░░░░░░░░ contender was his idea ░░░░░░░░ of making the Democrats ░░░░░░░░ was to kick anyone ░░░░░░░░ the ballot that he ░░░░░░░░ t feel should be ░░░░░░░░ That should not be ░░░░░░░░ role of a state ░░░░░░░░ leader and it should ░░░░░░░░ be the role of ░░░░░░░░ federal party The Democratic ░░░░░░░░ should never have been ░░░░░░░░ that they have the ░░░░░░░░ to choose Joe Biden ░░░░░░░░ they had I don ░░░░░░░░ believe that they should ░░░░░░░░ felt that they have ░░░░░░░░ right to choose Kamala ░░░░░░░░ So the people who ░░░░░░░░ running now it s ░░░░░░░░ about their sex it ░░░░░░░░ not about their color ░░░░░░░░ s not about their ░░░░░░░░ It s about their ░░░░░░░░ about what the party ░░░░░░░░ stand for And I ░░░░░░░░ the party should stand ░░░░░░░░ ethical principles The party ░░░░░░░░ stand for genuinely Democratic ░░░░░░░░ The party should stand ░░░░░░░░ being I believe a ░░░░░░░░ from the various Democratic ░░░░░░░░ and candidates throughout the ░░░░░░░░ I want to help ░░░░░░░░ American people reconnect with ░░░░░░░░ significance the practical significance ░░░░░░░░ politics to their daily ░░░░░░░░ Too many Americans don ░░░░░░░░ know what Democrats are ░░░░░░░░ to do for them ░░░░░░░░ the House or the ░░░░░░░░ They don t know ░░░░░░░░ s happening in their ░░░░░░░░ houses And the Republicans ░░░░░░░░ have been better at ░░░░░░░░ their base informed about ░░░░░░░░ they want and about ░░░░░░░░ they re doing The ░░░░░░░░ have acted like Just ░░░░░░░░ us and then trust ░░░░░░░░ People don t even ░░░░░░░░ and that s why ░░░░░░░░ many Americans don t ░░░░░░░░ like the Democratic Party ░░░░░░░░ their back I want ░░░░░░░░ talk to people I ░░░░░░░░ to listen to people ░░░░░░░░ first thing I would ░░░░░░░░ Reporter But you have ░░░░░░░░ doing that You ve ░░░░░░░░ traveling around Williamson That ░░░░░░░░ why I m running ░░░░░░░░ I m the one ░░░░░░░░ s been running you ░░░░░░░░ everybody says about some ░░░░░░░░ these people running well ░░░░░░░░ knows how it s ░░░░░░░░ in Wisconsin or wherever ░░░░░░░░ I know what s ░░░░░░░░ among people around the ░░░░░░░░ I know what it ░░░░░░░░ like for people who ░░░░░░░░ among those 70 and ░░░░░░░░ million people who are ░░░░░░░░ or uninsured who have ░░░░░░░░ who are among the ░░░░░░░░ in four who have ░░░░░░░░ debt who are among ░░░░░░░░ over half of the ░░░░░░░░ that are medical bankruptcies ░░░░░░░░ who are so concerned ░░░░░░░░ their children s asthma ░░░░░░░░ of the toxins in ░░░░░░░░ air or the carcinogens ░░░░░░░░ their children s food ░░░░░░░░ who can t work ░░░░░░░░ just one job and ░░░░░░░░ make it and support ░░░░░░░░ families and who absolutely ░░░░░░░░ that the Democrats have ░░░░░░░░ raised the provided for ░░░░░░░░ raise of the minimum ░░░░░░░░ I want to make ░░░░░░░░ that the American people ░░░░░░░░ what the Democrats are ░░░░░░░░ to do and I ░░░░░░░░ the Democratic Party to ░░░░░░░░ when the American people ░░░░░░░░ you not doing what ░░░░░░░░ say you stand for ░░░░░░░░ I believe that that ░░░░░░░░ the way to reconnect ░░░░░░░░ to repair the frayed ░░░░░░░░ of affection between the ░░░░░░░░ people and the Democratic ░░░░░░░░ Reporter You ve said ░░░░░░░░ Democratic Party needs to ░░░░░░░░ to rise like a ░░░░░░░░ a beautiful metaphor from ░░░░░░░░ defeat of this past ░░░░░░░░ So what do they ░░░░░░░░ to do to win ░░░░░░░░ 2028 and beyond Because ░░░░░░░░ did not work in ░░░░░░░░ way shape or form ░░░░░░░░ time around Williamson If ░░░░░░░░ am elected the first ░░░░░░░░ I will do is ░░░░░░░░ on a listening tour ░░░░░░░░ I will ask people ░░░░░░░░ ask people they ll ░░░░░░░░ you What did we ░░░░░░░░ do What are you ░░░░░░░░ receiving from the party ░░░░░░░░ do you need that ░░░░░░░░ re not getting And ░░░░░░░░ would also ask people ░░░░░░░░ have traditionally voted Democratic ░░░░░░░░ voted for Trump this ░░░░░░░░ How did we lose ░░░░░░░░ and what do we ░░░░░░░░ to do to get ░░░░░░░░ back I will also ░░░░░░░░ the great story of ░░░░░░░░ United States It kills ░░░░░░░░ how Republicans have stolen ░░░░░░░░ have stolen American history ░░░░░░░░ idea of what the ░░░░░░░░ did to push back ░░░░░░░░ injustice and the women ░░░░░░░░ and the early labor ░░░░░░░░ and Civil Rights Movement ░░░░░░░░ s what the Democratic ░░░░░░░░ needs to stand for ░░░░░░░░ pushing back against the ░░░░░░░░ injustice of this corporate ░░░░░░░░ insurance companies pharmaceutical companies ░░░░░░░░ Food Big Chem Big ░░░░░░░░ financial institutions Big Oil ░░░░░░░░ defense contractors whose power ░░░░░░░░ profit making goals now ░░░░░░░░ infused every sector of ░░░░░░░░ s lives The Democratic ░░░░░░░░ should stand for that ░░░░░░░░ against that systemic injustice ░░░░░░░░ when the party does ░░░░░░░░ when the DNC chair ░░░░░░░░ someone who can help ░░░░░░░░ sure that the people ░░░░░░░░ that the party does ░░░░░░░░ that s how we ░░░░░░░░ going to win in ░░░░░░░░ and it s also ░░░░░░░░ we re gonna win ░░░░░░░░ 28.”
