The Deal With The Devil Both Parties Keep Making
"Plattner is a deal with the devil. The answer to the riddle of why did they support him if this stuff was out there? Because they were willing to make their own deal with the devil because they need his populist base. That's why. Because they know it beat them. And now they want to win."
Chris Cuomo argues that Democratic leaders including Bernie Sanders and Ro Khanna embraced Maine gubernatorial candidate Graham Plattner despite red flags in his past because they were desperate to tap into populist energy. Cuomo claims they ignored allegations and personal flaws to secure his outsider appeal and voter base, only abandoning him after a formal rape allegation surfaced. He warns Democrats are repeating MAGA's mistake of compromising principles for power.
