‘It’s A Mistake’: Megadonor Who Left Democrats Says Bernie Sanders And AOC’s Anti-Oligarchy Tour Will Backfire

Former Democrat megadonor John Morgan told NewsNation host Chris Cuomo Thursday that Sen. Bernie Sanders’ anti-oligarchy tour featuring Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will backfire, saying both politicians motivate President Donald Trump’s supporters.

The Vermont independent launched his “Fighting Oligarchy” tour in February, with the New York Democrat set to participate at multiple rallies. Morgan, who was very critical of former Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign in 2024, argued on “CUOMO” that Democrats should step aside rather than actively and outwardly oppose the Trump administration.

“It’s a mistake … I agree with Carville,” Morgan said when Cuomo asked if he likes the two left-wing politicians targeting “the oligarchs.”

Carville wrote a New York Times opinion essay published Feb. 25 that Democrats should “roll over and play dead,” predicting that Republicans would collapse on their own.
