Ted Lieu Says the Quiet Part Out Loud About What Must Be a Dem Presidential Candidate's Top Priority

"Make America Open Borders and Crime-Ridden Again!"

That's basically going to be the Democrat presidential pitch when it comes to securing that party's nomination in 2028.

But don't take it from us. Here's what Rep. Ted Lieu says will have to be on any Democrats' list of top priorities in order to get the presidential nomination:

My prediction: No Democrat running for President will win the primary or general election without first committing to restore the White House, Kennedy Center and Washington, DC to pre-trump.

And promising to do so with fireworks and music would poll well with voters. https://t.co/RJvHRiyQ9c

Everything Trump has done will have to disappear, and of course any Democrat that ends up in the White House would also open the border back up and stop enforcing immigration laws. 

Yes, we know dems are all about decay, corruption and crime. Nothing new there.

Lieu didn't need to give a reminder about what's at stake in the next couple of elections. We already know the Dems are eager to bring back crime and open borders.

Ted Lieu says he wants to return to the days of a Kennedy Center literally falling apart physically and fiscally - where the staff was paid with money reserved for the massive loan coming due in 2030.

These people on the left have no idea how the economy works, how finance… https://t.co/SG5ak7p8RU

Does “restoring DC” include going back to the old massive levels of crime? https://t.co/gvQcWKXxNE

Good reminder from out-of-touch cartoon Dems like Ted Lieu that “reversing Trump” is a much higher priority than any kind of substantive policy vision. Nobody outside DC cares about this.

Second, “returning DC to pre-Trump?” Are you going to bring BACK the crime and murder? https://t.co/7PxTEvo3IF

Sooo...you want Washington to go back to being a crime ridden hellhole that no one wants to visit nor feel safe in?
By all means keep posting your insanity so everyone can see it! https://t.co/YjMMhem2Sz

It was nice of Ted to say the quiet part out loud again.
