Famed civil-rights attorney Alan Dershowitz said Thursday that the Democrats "shot themselves in the foot" with their 25-hour demonstration for gun votes and that the "stunt" could hurt Hillary Clinton this fall.
"I'm a liberal Democrat, supporter of Hillary Clinton," Dershowitz, a Harvard Law School professor emeritus, told CNN host Don Lemon. "They hurt her by making fools of themselves, sitting in on Congress and pulling this kind of stunt.
"If Hillary Clinton is going to win, she's going to win because she has gravitas and because the Republicans are a bunch of buffoons.
"Now, the Democrats are a bunch of buffoons, sitting on the house floor, screaming and singing," he added. "This can't help. They have to be serious."

Yep, it was totally lame.
Even many liberals aren’t defending it on a stunt level (though they are still for gun control).
Ya think?? Ya think??? Maybe people are realizing they don’t want RULERS who make rules and then exempt themselves from those rules???
YA THINK???
LOL Can I steal that as a tagline?
How much blood money did the ‘RATS raise with that little charade?
It would have been a lot wiser for the commie ‘RATS to blame Orlando on some YouTube clip instead of the Second Amendment. JMO.
It’s sad that they still are blaming it on guns even after Orlando.
And a lot of those gun owners are Democrats.
They keep picking issues that don’t help them.
Trump needs to stay focused on the economy like a laser beam while the Dems play with gun control, bathrooms etc.
I have heard that Pelosi didn’t like the Clintons, because of Bill Clinton’s bad behavior towards one of Nancy’s daughters.
Just what I heard. Things happen behind the scenes.
They are the most dangerous kind of liberal - one that likes to get you to think they are reasonable, sane people with good intentions. They are evil.
Speaking of Orlando, I am saddened that the focus has all been about gun control.
Orlando is the deadliest terrorist attack in America since 9/11, and resembles the terrorist attacks which happened in Paris and Brussels. Yet the media are virtually ignoring the fact that this was a terrorist attack.
Trump, the media, and everybody here have already forgotten that Hitlery met with Pelosi just an hour or two before the Sitzkrieg on the House floor started.
Trump needs to tie this around her neck.
Yes they were behaving like buffoons but always keep in mind who they are playing to. The Dem constituents, the biggest gaggle of buffoons of all.
He is to be applauded for his ethnic loyalty, but his racial extremism and anti-Christian bigotry are to be condemned. He should leave the country
I so hope you are right. We won’t survive as a nation if she wins.
Democrats are collapsing under the weight of their idiocy. For every smart member, there are 10 or more stupid ones. Their actions are idiocy, each step of intolerance by them leads to just the opposite in many cases. Especially, with Trump unleashing everyone from PC.
That’s an excellent moniker for the esteemed Harvard prof. Did you coin it? If so - bravo!
I was in four different communities yesterday and wherever I went people were talking about how disgusting the Democrats were for their phony sit-in and their zest to curb our Second Amendment. It didn’t play well, except I suppose to the ultra-liberal progressives.
