Fmr. Minn. Gov.: Dems Have Lost the Rank and File Because They Think Being White Is a Privilege
EXCERPT:
PAWLENTY: “And Trump, for all of his other challenges, has been successful in some political jujitsu in attracting labor — the rank-and-file laborers to his campaign. And in exchange, the Democrats have picked up folks who are more highly educated, more woke or whatever. But if you talk to the rank-and-file people who are driving around in vans and trucks with ladders and doing the work of hard labor in this country, and you talk to them individually, they are very skeptical of a leftward lurch in the country. One of them told me not too long ago, after working on his hands and knees his whole life with arthritic hands, he said, 'You know, I was in the military. I‘ve worked my can off my whole life. And I‘m not voting Democrat this time as a lifelong a Democrat this time because they think I‘m privileged just because of the color of my skin.' That‘s one little glimpse into how the Democrats lost rank-and-file labor."
