Conservative CNN pundit Scott Jennings ripped the Democratic Party for being hijacked by “radicals” who stand on the wrong side of every “80/20” issue — and offered a surprise pick to bring

them back to the mainstream. “I’ll defend the Democrats, they are for things. Illegal aliens, you’re for boys in girls’ sports,” Jennings jabbed during an appearance Sunday on CNN’s “State

of the Union,” nodding at the issue of transgender athletes competing in sex-separated sports. “That’s why you have such struggles right now in your party, because you’re not for anything

that’s on the right side of any of the 80/20 issues that are driving this cultural divide in America.” He slammed progressive Dems in the limelight, including Reps. Alexandria-Ocasio Cortez

and Jasmine Crockett, and suggested party leaders should instead listen to voices like Maryland Gov. Wes Moore.  “I think Wes Moore is actually a pretty talented communicator,” Jennings

said. “Moore is interesting, probably more interesting than some of the radicals you have out there, Crockett, AOC. I mean those are the true leaders of your party right now, but you’d

probably be better off replacing them with Moore,” Jennings said. EXPLORE MORE He blasted failed vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, who attended a South

Carolina fish fry over the weekend alongside Moore as whispers of potential 2028 primary runs swirled. “The other person who spoke in South Carolina, Tim Walz, is a special mixture of

extreme buffoonery and a mean spirit, which is a toxic brew. He is not the future of the Democratic party,” Jennings said. Moore has insisted that he is “not running” for president, but many

viewed his South Carolina tour as a glimpse into the 2028 primary campaign. At a dinner on Friday, Moore gave a 30-minute speech about his family’s ties to the state and called on the party

to unite and take action. “Gone are the days when the Democrats are the party of ‘no’ and ‘slow,’” Moore said. “We must be the party of ‘yes’ and ‘now.’” Jennings comments come on the heels

of a new poll that found fewer than a fifth of Americans view Democrats as a party with strong leadership that is able to get things done, with Republicans scoring roughly double on both of

those metrics. When asked about which party has strong leaders, 40% of American adults said Republicans, compared to 16% Democrats and 43% neither, according to a CNN/SSRS survey taken last

month. Another national study conducted by co/efficient in early May found the Democratic Party is rudderless, with AOC getting 26% of the votes while another 26% said there was no face of

the party. A CNN poll in March asked Democratic-aligned adults to name the leader they felt “best reflects the core values” of the party. AOC emerged on top, albeit with a measly 10%. Former

Vice President Kamala Harris and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders followed at 9% and 8%, respectively.
