good points about the identity of the democratic party. you just brought up pelosi, i would say what happened today or yesterday. maxine waters who some of us call queen maxine or aunte maxine, a celebrated hero and how she s been treated in the house is demonstrative of the type of battle that is going on. you hav the dnc chair who said, they re not going to endorse in any races, endorse in a gubernatorial primary in new york. so, we re running into the same mistakes over and over again. i m not opposed to having a family conversation on the big screen, scott. i m going to tell the party i traditionally support the truth. i don t believe in lying to make people feel better like some of the trump supporters do. this is for you, david, i ll put it up on the screen. the president says wow, big trump hater congressman joe crowley who many expected was going to take pelosi s place
taken on nancy pelosi. he had has got to be stunned. spent $3 million. had a lot more to spend. ainsley: didn t show up for the debate. brian: there were no polls such a small sample there were no polls. ainsley: he probably thought he had it in the can. brian: she was sitting there stunned. joe crowley must have been flred and thise been a ripple throughout the rest of the democratic party. something else stands out on what she stands for. whether you are a democratic, republican moderate or conservative. people care about healthcare. again, ano successful democrat who have medicare for all as part of their platform and people are really nervous because that goes beyond party. i think republicans should recognize that. ainsley: president weighed in on it he tweeted. this wow, big trump hater congressman joe crowley who many expected was going to take nancy pelosi s place just lost his primary election. in other words, he s out. that is a big one that nobody saw happening. prancperhaps
alexandria ocasio cortez defeating chairman of the house democratic caucus joe crowley by more than 3600 votes. president trump tweeted about it last night. wow, big trump hater congressman joe crowley who many expected would take nancy pelosi s place lost his primary election. in other words, he is out. that s a big one that nobody saw happening. perhaps he should have been nicer and more respectful to his president. let s analyze it. byron york and fox news contributor, good day to you. start with what happened in new york, start with the left and reflect on what happened in maryland as well. many thought the progressive left was on the move but it didn t emerge until last night. this is a big deal and compared a little bit to representative eric cantor s defeat in virginia in 2014 that signaled there was a lot of disruption going on inside the republican party that we saw
including the supreme court decision but tweeted about joe crowley s defeat. wow. big trump hater. congressman joe crowley, many expected would take nancy pelosi s place just lost his primary election. in other words, he s out. that is a big one that nobody saw happening. perhaps he should have been nicer and more respectful to his president. is the president feeling pretty good right now about his party going into the midterms? he is, but that analysis is a little off tune. in that primary race. simplistic. joe crowley didn t lose because he wasn t nice enough to president trump. not an accurate reading what happened on the ground in that district. the president feels this disarray in the democratic party is good for him and the republican party heading into midterms and he s going to be certain to seize on every episode just as he pounced last night on this electoral surprise. one of the interesting things about this, we heard nancy pelosi talking about this, jake. the growin
and there was a demographic change there, and crowley kind of represented what it used to be. ocasio-cortez, what the district more and more becoming. and maybe the democratic party too, brian. steve, you re so right. this may be the most diverse piece of political real estate anywhere in the country with the mixture of ethnic groups again in queens and part of the bronx. steve, we ll be coming back to you. let s go out to utah and kasie hunt, who is standing by. kasie, i have to tell you the president tweeted about this crowley race tonight. as we read it off the screen, wow, big trump hater congressman joe crowley who many expected was going to take nancy pelosi s place just lost his primary election. in other words, he s out. this is a big one that no one saw happening. perhaps he should have been nicer and more respectful to his president. what the president doesn t seem to realize is crowley was beaten from his own left, but it doesn t matter. we have this, as steve put it, seis
