Republican Rep. Mike Lawler of New York recently appeared on CNN during the panel show that’s moderated by Abby Phillip. This is the show that Scott Jennings usually appears on.
At one point, Lawler points out that Democrats show more support to people like Mahmoud Khalil of Columbia University than they do to crime victims in New York City, or Jewish students being harassed on college campuses. He says that average Americans see this and think Democrats are out of their minds.
Lawler is right, of course, but his comments set off a firestorm among the other panelists on the show.
Host Abby Phillip tries her best to regain control of the show, but it takes a few moments. Watch:
Mike Lawler just hit the nail on the head.

Nothing Lawler said here was wrong.
Correct. And understand, this isn’t a failure of strategy. This is who the Democrats are.
They defend Khalil and abandon normal Americans because their own ideology demands it.
Don’t let them off the hook by supposing they are just misguided. https://t.co/K4LPDcujfs

Lawler hits the nail on the head once again. Let’s not forget that Bowman (sitting at the table) claimed there was no rape, marched in the streets with people calling for an intifada, and supported the encampments.
Thank you @lawler4ny for standing up for Jewish students! https://t.co/tEzidcoCDF

The Democrats are so full of rage that it has unbalanced them. They can’t seem to think clearly and it’s making them look completely insane. Lawler was right to make this point.
