‘Made His Bed With The Fascists’: Democrats Implode Over Andrew Yang Creating A New Political Party

Yang, former Republican New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman and former Republican Congressman David Jolly announced their creation of the "new Forward party," which merges three separate movements claiming to unite Americans from all ends of the political spectrum.

  • The party invites Americans "of all stripes" to be a part of the process, without abandoning their existing political affiliations, by joining us to discuss building an "inclusive and hopeful home for the politically homeless majority."
  • However, some Democrats are not convinced by the message.

Yang is a GOP funded horse

  • He previously joined Anderson Cooper in a CNN segment in 2016, casting suspicion over former President Trump’s sniffling during the presidential debates.
  • Democratic Super PAC leader Rachel Bitecofer called Yang's initiative a "democracy-risking vanity project."

The Guardian published an op-ed also criticizing Yang's new party

  • "The Democratic party is the only one of the two major parties committed to basic democratic and liberal norms. The problem that ails America is that Republicans are not," wrote the author, Andrew Gawthorpe, a lecturer at Leiden University in the Netherlands.
    1. Democratic leaders and progressive influencers are calling Andrew Yang a “GOP-funded Trojan horse,” among other insults, and accusing him of threatening democracy by announcing a new third party that claims to seek common ground between the right and the left.
    2. Yang co-published an op-ed with former Republican New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman and former Republican Congressman David Jolly on Wednesday, announcing their creation of the “new Forward party.” This merges three separate movements run by the three founders, all claiming to unite Americans from all ends of the political spectrum.
    3. Multiple Democratic leaders openly expressed outrage over Andrew Yang starting a non-partisan political party, fearing that it will only boost Republicans in future elections.
    4. “Forward’s platform is simple: What policies can foster free people, thriving communities, and vibrant democracy,” a Forward Party spokeswoman told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
