Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich sharply criticized the Democratic Party, calling it an unethical organization that rallied around a “coma” patient over more capable contenders to serve its political interests.
In a Friday interview with Fox News host Jesse Watters, Blagojevich also accused the party of harboring a “Hall of Fame for Liars,” naming Senator Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) as its leading figure.
Watters asked the former governor about his response to claims that Democrats preferred to cover for former President Joe Biden’s mental and physical problems instead of move on from him or accept President Donald Trump, Blagojevich said, “I’d say that guy hates the American people and hates his constituents and hates even Democratic voters.”
“Shouldn’t we all wish good things for our country? Isn’t it right to hope that a president, even the one from the other party, can succeed to do good things for his country and good things for people?” he said.
Blagojevich said that proves that Democfrats “don’t care about America,” going on to quote Tennessee Williams’ line that “the only thing worse than a liar is a liar that’s also a hypocrite.”
“If they have any sense of patriotism… they ought to try to … atone for their sins,” the former governor said.
