Dem Rep Really … Really Wants Voters To Believe Her Party Is Racking Up Wins Left And Right

Democratic Massachusetts Rep. Katherine Clark attempted to convince CNN host Sara Sidner Monday that her party is racking up victories against President Donald Trump.

A CNN/SSRS poll found that 73% of voters who lean Democrat believe that congressional leaders in the party are doing “too little” to oppose Trump, with just 22% saying they are responding appropriately to the president. During an appearance on CNN, Clark claimed her party is holding Trump and Elon Musk “accountable” by using the court system to stop their attempts to eliminate wasteful government spending.

“Seventy-three percent of Democrats, or Democratic leaders, believe their party is not doing enough. Since Democrats do not control the House or the Senate, what is your plan to try and give Donald Trump some checks and balances?” Sidner asked.

“First, let me tell you, you got to understand how frustrated people are watching what is happening with this administration and with the unvetted, unelected, richest man in the world running rough shot across our personal data and making — threatening the basic services that they provide … We understand that we are the minority party in the House and the Senate and they have the White House. And what we have seen is cowardice from House Republicans who won’t stand up for their constituents because they don’t want to step out of line. So we are calling out the illegal and unconstitutional acts that we are seeing in the courts. That’s our first line of defense,” Clark said. “Over 78 cases have already been brought, and we are winning, and holding Elon Musk and Donald Trump accountable.”

Clark further said her party is “putting pressure” on just a few House Republicans, who she said hold a “slim majority,” to join Democrats and oppose Trump’s agenda.
