Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Victor Davis Hanson said on Newsmax Tuesday that the left’s obsessive behaviors are self-destructive and “killing their own party.”

In a speech at the Human Rights Campaign on Monday night, Democratic Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett called Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who uses a wheelchair, as “Governor Hot Wheels” and described him as a “hot ass mess.” During an appearance on “Rob Schmitt Tonight,” Hanson said the Democratic Party’s political rhetoric against Trump exacerbates political divisions and diminishes the opposition’s credibility.

“They’re on the side of pro-HAMAS, pro-terror supporters. They’re on the side of gang members. They’re on the side of terrorist-designated organizations. You’ve got Jasmine Crockett threatening bodily harm to Ted Cruz. Now she’s calling the governor of Texas ‘Hot Wheels’ who’s disabled,” Hanson said.

Hanson cited the low approval ratings of these strategies and likened them to an addiction that damages rather than benefits the party employing them.

WATCH:

“They’re almost like an addict. They know that what they’re doing is a fixation and it’s killing their party. It’s down at about 27% approval, and, yet, like every addict, they have to have their fix, and they can’t stop even though they know it’s killing them,” Hanson added.

Hanson also criticized the continuous legal actions that he said are designed more to delay than to deliver substantive outcomes.

“I think they feel that by the time this gets to the appellate district federal courts, and then up to the Supreme Court, then they have succeeded in their strategies,” Hanson said. “And it’s part of a larger effort. The street violence we see, the smutty videos we see, all of it is designed to delay, delay, delay, and Donald Trump is not going to have a third term. So they understand that.”

Hanson also criticized the opposition for not engaging in more constructive political efforts, such as addressing significant national debt or immigration challenges.

“What they’re not doing, as you know, is they’re not saying to him, let’s work to get rid of the $3 billion in interest per day, or let’s work together and see if we can find the 12 million people that we let in the last four years,” Hanson said. “It’s street theater. It’s delay. It’s lawfare. It’s sort of also the administration counterpart of what we saw for four years with Letitia James, Fani Willis, Alvin Bragg, Jack Smith, Eugene Carroll.”

Upon assuming the presidency on Jan. 20, Trump quickly enacted executive orders to limit illegal immigration and designated Mexican drug cartels, TdA, and MS-13 as foreign terrorist organizations. In response, Democratic states and unions filed numerous lawsuits, prompting Republican legislators to propose new laws that would restrict district judges from issuing nationwide injunctions on these executive actions.
