Investor Bill Ackman used to vote for Democrats. Today? Not so much.
During a recent appearance on a podcast, Ackman said that the Democrat Party is in the worst shape that it’s ever been in, in the 250 year history of the country. He said that the party has become crazy, radicalized, and anti-American.
Ackman became a public Trump supporter during the 2024 election and hasn’t looked back.
FOX News reports:
Investor Bill Ackman called the Democratic Party “crazy, radicalized and anti-American” during an interview on Tuesday, arguing that the party is “in a very bad place.”
“I think the Democratic Party is in the worst place it’s ever been, in the 250-year history of the country,” Ackman told Katie Miller, host of the “Katie Miller Podcast.” “I think it’s become like this crazy, radicalized, you know, anti-American thing. I think it’s — and by the way, I think there’s some very high-quality Democrats, you know, senators and, sure, some congressmen — but the party itself, I think, is in a very bad place.”
Ackman specifically named Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., as someone he used to be friendly with but now believes has “compromised” on his values.
“And I think the problem with people who’ve chosen to be a politician for a career, you either have to get with the party in order to continue, or you get primaries,” Ackman said. “You know, actually, Senator Schumer, I had a good relationship with him over the years. I thought he was a good man. But in recent years, I felt he’s just trying to keep his job.”
“And, you know, that’s the really low point for politicians when they’ll compromise on their values, and they’ll support, you know, a quasi-terrorist, perhaps running for Senate in Michigan, because they have to for the party,” Ackman said. “Stuff like that to me is, or terrorist supporter, is not, that’s, I find that pretty, deeply concerning.”

The Democrats were already drifting towards the edge, but the introduction of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) in their party really sent them to loony land.
It’s just not the same party anymore.
