Radical Centrists Like Haley Stevens Are the Real Extremists in the Democratic Party
By endorsing Abdul El-Sayed’s opponent for Israel’s sake, Stevens shows how the real threat to progress comes from centrists. The post Radical Centrists Like Haley Stevens Are the Real Extremists in the Democratic Party appeared first on The Intercept .
Michigan Democratic Senate primary candidate Rep. Haley Stevens announced her endorsement of Republican Mike Rogers over her Democratic opponent Abdul El-Sayed in a video released on Sunday. Stevens had previously criticized Rogers as a "rubber stamp for Donald Trump’s dangerous agenda." This move follows an attempt to pressure El-Sayed to appease Israel supporters.
Stevens now joins other conservative Democrats who have shown disregard for the well-being of people in the country and beyond, including former Sen. Krysten Sinema and Sen. Joe Manchin. These actions are seen as extreme by some, and critics argue that such behavior undermines the Democratic Party's goal of defeating Republicans.
