‘Democrats Began Maligning The Character Of This Voting Bloc’: Dana Loesch Tells Why Blue-Collar Folks Left The Party

Conservative radio host Dana Loesch said on Fox Business Tuesday that there’s a reason why blue-collar workers left the Democratic Party.

During an appearance on “The Bottom Line,” Loesch said that for years, the Democratic Party counted blue-collar workers among its staunchest supporters—until the 2016 election cycle. As these workers shifted their allegiance away from former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, Loesch said that Democrats turned on them.

“Democrats were happy to have them until the moment they turned up their noses at Hillary Clinton because they didn’t like what she was offering. And then, in a split second, Democrats began maligning the character of this voting bloc, this blue collar worker, hard working class, middle-class voting bloc,” Loesch said. “They began running them down, impugning their characters, calling them racists and bigots because they didn’t vote for the old white lady who fell down in Manhattan and lost a Tory Burch slipper.”

Loesch questioned the Democratic Party‘s future electoral strategy, especially as they attempt to distance themselves from billionaire influencers.

“The idea that they’re going to be the party of the working class now, I love this sound bite that you all played coming into this, because the gentleman speaking was saying we’re going to separate billionaires from the Democrat Party,” Loesch said. “Well, if they do that, how are they going to run anybody going up into 2028? Because their heir apparent is a billionaire, Cuomo.”
