Doug Jones Calls Dem Messaging ‘Toxic’

TRANSCRIPT:
JONES: "No, that’s absolutely right. But I’m so glad you played that clip from Jesse Watters, because it tells you part of the problem that I think Democrats have had, and that is that we’ve not kept up with the technology to get messages out, the good things that we’re doing. We are getting defined by all of those — all of those voices on the right. And we’re not talking about this. The one thing I disagree with Jesse about is that we’re not using 1990 technology, hell, we’re using 1890 technology and we’re getting nowhere. Jason was — just nailed it. We have got to be able to go to places where people are. People are not tuning in to news anymore. They’re getting information and they’re getting entertainment, and we’re not going there. And until Democrats — we can talk about messaging all we want to, but until we start reaching people who are really tuned out to politics, don’t care about politics, are getting information in different sources, in different places, it’s not going to matter because we are getting defined in ways that make the Democratic brand somewhat toxic."
