In an interview Friday on MSNBC’s The Last Word, Clyburn claimed the media was distorting political narratives– and that Dems are losing ground not because of the exceedingly leftward tilt of their message – but because the press isn’t properly telling its story. “I think the message coming from the Democratic Party is a good message,” Clyburn said. “The problem we’ve got is that we have to depend upon the media to deliver it.” “There were people who said the [2024] protest movement didn’t...

You know, I was the one who secured the Democratic nomination for him in 2020. That was one of the greatest accomplishments of my career.
