Sen. Joe Lieberman: The Squad Is “Exercising Their Influence Beyond Their Numbers” In The Democratic Party

On Fox Across America with Jimmy Failla, former Senator Joe Lieberman talked about his new book The Centrist Solution: How We Made Government Work and Can Make It Work Again and how the far left of the Democratic Party has taken over President Biden’s agenda to the detriment of the country.

“It’s not just center left, which is the traditional Democratic coalition. This is a far left group, the most extreme of which is the so-called ‘Squad.’ And they seem to be exercising influence far beyond their numbers, certainly in the country, and I believe in the party. I think most Democrats today, rank and file, are still center and and slightly left, but not far less like they are. And some for reasons I don’t know exactly, Joe Biden, who was really more of a centrist in the 24 years I served with him in the Senate, always worked to have bipartisan agreements, often with very conservative Republicans like Strom Thurmond and Orrin Hatch. He seems to have been pulled over by those further left Democrats. Finally, he’s trying to cut them back some on this big new entitlement bill, but he’s having a hard time doing it. I think he got elected, the margin of victory over President Trump, was because a lot of moderates thought he was a moderate and would work across party lines and unify America. But it so far it’s not happened.”
