Longtime Vocal Democrat “Jumps Ship” Says “Lunatics Have Taken Over the Asylum” - Will Support Mike Rogers in Michigan Senate Election

Julian Epstein: I have been criticizing the Democratic Party for a long time as being far to the left of the median voter. So just as a matter of practical politics and pragmatism, I think the party has gone way too far left, but I think the party has also lost its moral center.

I’m Julian Epstein. I’m a longtime Democrat. I was formerly the chief counsel of the House Judiciary Committee and the staff director of the House Oversight Committee for the Democrats.

I’m the former CEO of the consulting firm LMG, which represented Amongst other people, Hillary Clinton for president. If this is where the party’s going, this is not a party I want to have any, anything to do with. My piece in the New York Post today basically says that I’m jumping ship, that I am going over to the Republican side in the Michigan Senate race and I’m supporting Mike Rogers. And this is because I think the Democrats have gone off the deep end. I think the lunatics are in charge of the asylum.

Um, I think that there is no room in the tent for people that want to destroy our Constitution.

There’s no room in the tent for people that want to align themselves with radical Islam.

There’s no room in the tent for people that want to align themselves with antisemitism.

And there’s no room in the tent, I think, in my view, for people that don’t have any interest in building for the next generation but only want to redistribute what others have created and want to basically tear down the free market that has been the most effective anti-poverty liberation machine that human beings have ever invented.

If you want to start taking these lunatic positions, then I’m, I’m just not going to be part of it.
