Just what do lefties like Graham Platner have to do to get Democrats to condemn them?

Democrats are again acting like they occupy the high moral ground of American politics.But if 2026 has proven anything, it’s that there’s virtually nothing a left-wing candidate could say or do that would elicit condemnation from Democrats if doing so threatened their power.Democrats, for example, demand credit for their opposition to Maureen Galindo, the Texas House candidate who proposed putting American “Zionists” (wink, wink) into concentration camps and castrating them.Galindo lost her Texas primary last week, but still won 36% of the vote — not a bad showing for a politician championing mass imprisonment of her political enemies.The question, though, is whether House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, or Rep.Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, or anyone at Pod Save America or the Bulwark would have uttered a word in protest, had Galindo already won her primary before making those comments.All the evidence strongly suggests no.And by evidence, I mean their explicit support for slightly less offensive cranks, extremists, bigots and terrorism apologists like new party power broker Hasan Piker, or the socialist Hezbollah fan Abdul el Sayed in Michigan, or the Hamas apologist Chris Rabb in Pennsylvania — a guy who suggested the massacre of Jews at Bondi Beach was a “false flag” operation by “Zionists.”Imagine telling someone 20 years ago that a leading House candidate in a New Jersey district right outside New York City had both volunteered for an al Qaeda front in Europe and spent years being friends with “Blind Sheik” Omar Abdel-Rahman, the longtime jihadi preacher who was sentenced for seditious conspiracy after planning a “day of terror” in 1993.Adam Hamawy defended Abdel-Rahman during his trial — and yet not a single notable Democrat has called him out on it.Many of the same Democrats who expect Republicans to wring their hands over Republican Texas senatorial candidate Ken Paxton, a man tainted by corruption, have offered full-throated endo...
