Democrat strategist James Kerrville, in frustration with Fox News host Martha McCallum, pushes him the reason Democrats struggle to connect with Americans.
McCallum faced longtime strategists about whether it would be politically beneficial for Democrats to defend Mahmoud Khalil, a student visa non-citizen who led the anti-Israel protests. Kerrville seemed visibly upset as McCulm forced him to sway the Democratic Party’s current message and reaction to the Trump administration resonated with voters.
“Is this a good hill to die for Democrats while they’re trying to fix the party, James?” McCallum asked.
“I thought Republicans were a free speech party. They’re always talking about protecting free speech, so I’m a bit confused. If he commits a crime, that’s one thing. If he exercises his right to free speech, that’s another thing,” Kerrville said. “But it is not a deadly hill. [Secretary of State] Marco Rubio is busy fighting Elon Musk at the cabinet meeting. I’m amazed that he has time to deal with this as he is trying to make the State Department survive internally. ” (Related: “It Matters”: Piers Morgan did not remove James Kerrville from the hook after dismissing the issue of trans-athletes)

“I’m just asking if you think this will resonate and bring voters back because only 27% of voters think the Democrat message resonates with them, and like me, it’s not going to win the election,” McCallum said.
“Can I answer it?” [do] Should I sit here and take it? ” asked McCollum giving him permission to speak. “I think what resonates with voters is that we are the markets falling apart. I think what resonates with voters is that we are attacking veterans. We are attacking veterans’ healthcare. We are attacking national parks. I think that’s what’s really important. And you’ll wait until the growth numbers come out in the first quarter, I don’t think they’ll be very good, are you okay?”
