A prominent Democratic strategist was filmed attacking her own party following Donald Trump’s resounding election victory on Wednesday.
CNN contributor Julie Roginsky criticized viewers and her own colleagues during the segment, chiding them for pointing fingers instead of reflecting.
the argument was triggered after another on-air aide asked Roginsky, 51, if Biden should have dropped out of the race earlier, as if that had been to blame for Trump’s big victory.
Roginsky explained through a series of what he called “hard truths” why he believes the Democratic Party has become increasingly out of touch.
Similar criticisms were leveled in the wake of the 2016 election, where many dismissed Trump as a credible threat, leading to unceremonious distaste for Hillary Clinton.

CNN contributor Julie Roginsky criticized viewers and her own colleagues during Thursday’s tirade, chiding them for pointing fingers instead of reflecting on the results.
The rant was triggered after another on-air contributor asked Roginsky (center) if Biden should have dropped out of the race earlier, as if that had been to blame for Trump’s victory.
“I’m going to tell some hard truths to my friends in the Democratic Party,” the Russian-born Roginsky began before insisting: “This is not Joe Biden’s fault.”
“It’s not Kamala Harris’ fault,” he continued. ‘It’s not Barack Obama’s fault. Blame the Democratic Party for not knowing how to communicate effectively with voters.
“We are not the party of common sense,” he went on to declare, adding that “(this) is the message the voters sent us.”
“For various reasons, we don’t know how to talk to voters,” proclaimed the experienced strategist who also worked at CNBC.
“When we target Latinos… Latino voters, like Latinx, for example, because that’s the politically correct thing to do, it makes them think that we don’t even live on the same planet,” he argued.
The expert added that progressives trapped in this era of political correctness are afraid to tell college students who are “trashing” campuses that such measures are “unacceptable,” but “we are very concerned about alienating one group or another in our coalition.” “.
“(Just) because you’re not happy with some kind of policy… you’re taking over a university and you’re destroying it and preventing other students from learning,” he said.
“That is unacceptable.”
The former CNBC contributor went on to state that Democrats have lost touch and have focused more on things like political correctness than more pressing issues.
‘NORTH“Normal people see that and say, ‘Wait a second,'” he continued. ‘I send my kids to college so they can learn, not so they can burn down buildings and tear up lawns, right? And so on.
He then focused on the formalities surrounding pronouns and how Americans now sign them “after names and say (things like) she/her,” while expressing vitriol toward those who don’t comply.
“(This comes) instead of saying, you know what? If I call you with the wrong pronoun, call me,” Roginsky said.
‘Stop virtue signaling and talk to people as if they were normal.
‘There’s nothing I’m going to say to Shermichael (Singleton) that I’m not going to say to you or that I’m not going to say to someone else.
“I speak the same language with everyone, but that’s not what Democrats do,” he continued.
‘We constantly try to analyze different ways of speaking, because our focus groups or surveys show that so-and-so attracts so-and-so; Normal people don’t think like that.
“Joe Biden is not responsible for that, and neither is Kamala Harris,” he finally concluded, before seemingly referencing the political climate that saw Trump elected in 2016. “That’s a problem Democrats have had for years.”
‘It’s not common sense and we have to start being the party of common sense again.
“Joe Biden is not responsible for that, nor is Kamala Harris,” he concluded. ‘That’s a problem Democrats have had for years.
‘I’ve been beating the drum on this for I don’t know how, probably ten years on this.
‘We need to go back to being the party of common sense where people look at us and say we understand you.
“Until we do, we should stop blaming other people for our own mistakes.”
Meanwhile, clips of the improvised nude continue to circulate and have garnered nearly a million views.
The latest statement from the strategist, who has also offered his vision as a Fox News contributor, seemed to reference the complacency with which some say he saw Trump win the first time.
“Until we do that, we should stop blaming other people for our own mistakes,” he added, as his sensible nude continues to go viral.
