Trump panics as Dems mobilize behind new plan: ‘They do this and the GOP is dead!’

"This interview was about the rise of communism on the Left, and I was asked by Jesse Watters why so many young people are buying the false promise of 'free stuff' being sold by communist politicians," Leavitt wrote on X.

"My answer: a combination of laziness, yes, and the liberal indoctrination that has been taking place in our education system for far too long."

On Thursday, Watters slammed Gen Z supporters of Democratic Socialists such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, arguing they wanted an end to inflation because they were too lazy to get "real jobs," the Daily Beast reported.

When Watters accused Gen Z of complaining too much, Leavitt was quick to pile on criticism.

"I hate to say it, Gen Z and those younger than me have been raised with just silver spoons in their mouths, just getting everything handed to them," she reportedly told Watters. "That's not the values this country was built on... It was built on meritocracy."

As the Daily Beast pointed out, "Experts have long noted that the viability of the American Dream has waned since the end of World War II, with some researchers saying that each successive generation has fared worse than the last."

It's also worth noting Leavitt represents a man who reportedly received $413 million from his real estate developer father and herself married a real estate developer 32 years her senior worth a reported $6 million.

Leavitt apparently took umbrage with any criticism of her commentary as she felt obligated to share video of the interview along with a 400-word screed.

But Leavitt didn't back down from her claim that her generation was misguided.

"There are far-left educators pumping students’ heads with garbage, convincing them that hard work and sacrifice won’t pay off down the road because they want them totally reliant on the government instead," she wrote. "I care enough about our country to tell uncomfortable truths."

She did throw them some praise.

"At the same time, it’s also true that many Gen Z Americans are hardworking, entrepreneurial, and deeply patriotic, and it’s vital we protect the American Dream for them," wrote Leavitt. "I will continue to call out the radical Democrats, socialists, and communists who are lying to our youth."

“It’s all about bringing people together. I truly, truly believe that we have to figure out what a team is,” Smith said during an appearance on Fox News. “We don’t need to be recessing when we hit a bump on the road, we need to have a conference meeting, go and hash it out, fix the problem, and that’s what Speaker [John] Boehner, Speaker [Kevin] McCarthy, Speaker [Paul] Ryan would do.”

Last Tuesday, Johnson sent lawmakers home on a nearly two-week recess after facing a small GOP rebellion on the House floor, largely over Congress’ failure to pass the SAVE Act, Trump’s controversial voter ID bill that some critics have described as a form of “voter suppression.” The House has passed the bill several times, though it remains stalled in the Senate.

The chaos under Johnson’s leadership has not gone unnoticed by House Democrats.

“What on earth are we doing here?” said Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) on the House floor last week, as reported by Politico. “Every week, wondering if someone’s going to throw a fit, if Donald Trump is going to post something crazy and blow everything up, if Mike Johnson is going to bring something to the floor when he doesn’t have the votes.”

Trump has made the SAVE Act his top priority in recent months, going as far as to derail the Senate GOP’s entire agenda with a surprise cancellation of a Senate confirmation hearing, and caused further chaos by refusing to sign a bi-partisan bill on affordable housing.

And on Sunday, Trump promoted an op-ed published last week by the Daily Signal, an op-ed in which columnist and Fox News contributor Deroy Murdock torched Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) for lacking “true grit.”

“The GOP Senate needs such true grit. Alas, John Thune offers talcum powder,” Murdock wrote in the op-ed promoted by Trump. “Thune is like a regional sales manager who moans to headquarters, ‘I don’t have any sales.’ Well, kid, go close some sales! If SAVE lacks the votes, get the votes!”

According to a recent analysis from New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie, Senate Republicans may only now be “coming to understand” the threat Trump poses to their agenda. According to Bouie, however, that realization may already have come “a bit too late” to save the GOP from a sizable loss in the upcoming midterm elections.
