EXCERPT:
For months now, almost every time a Democrat has been asked by someone in the media about the far-out views of a candidate who is part of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), we have heard about how their party is a ‘big tent.’
This simply doesn’t cut it because what they are saying is that their tent is big enough for someone who wants to defund the police or promote the gender transition of minors, but not big enough for anyone who wants to enforce our immigration laws or protect the gun rights of law-abiding citizens.
DNC Chairman Ken Martin is still using this talking point, less than a month before the midterms.

DNC Chair Ken Martin defends ‘Big Tent’ strategy when pressed on democratic socialists
Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin defended his party’s big-tent approach Monday, arguing Democrats must continue expanding their coalition even as Republicans target the party over its ties to democratic socialists.
Martin was pressed during an interview on MSNOW about whether the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is a liability for the party ahead of the midterm elections.
“So let me just say, I’ve always taken a big-tent approach to how you build a party,” Martin said. “That’s why I was successful for all these years in Minnesota. I believe you win through addition, not subtraction. You win by growing your coalition, not shrinking it.”
“And sometimes, is there a middle ground, though, when Americans see that…” interjected MSNOW anchor Peter Alexander.
“No, not at all, because that’s where the vast majority of Americans are at,” Martin replied. “Maybe right in the middle, or a little center-left, or a little center-right. But it doesn’t mean we can’t bring new voices into the party, right? Of course, we have to keep growing and we have to keep expanding this tent,” Martin reiterated.
