Dem Rep. Adam Smith: ‘What Bernie Sanders and AOC Are Doing Is They’re Preaching to the Choir’

EXCERPT:

SMITH: “I think what Bernie Sanders and AOC are doing is they're preaching to the choir. And don't get me wrong, that needs to be done. You need to get the choir fired up. You need to make sure that we stay engaged and energetic, but they're not reaching to a broader base of people. And look, I don't view this as a left right thing. I think centrists have made mistakes. I mean, certainly the economic policies that were put in place that the notion that everyone was going to go off and get a 4-year degree and become an engineer and that was going to solve the problem didn't fix it, but I also think on the left side that the message that we're sending is we don't like rich people, number one. And number two, we're going to give out a lot of free stuff to as many people as possible.”
