Andrew Schulz says Americans no longer ‘believe’ Dems after showing deceit

Comedian Andrew Schulz said during a Thursday podcast that Americans have lost trust in Democrats after the deceit they showed by covering up former President Joe Biden’s decline.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson authored a May book titled “Original Sin,” reporting that Biden’s staffers, cabinet officials and Democratic lawmakers concealed the former president’s deterioration in order to bolster his reelection odds. Schulz, on “The Brilliant Idiots,” said he thought that “legacy Democrats” do not understand that Americans now realize members of the party are willing to do whatever it takes to hold onto power.

“I could be wrong with this, but I think that, like, the legacy Democrats still believe that people believe them. And they are the last ones that believe that,” Schulz said. “Do you know what I mean? Like, the jig is up. Like, we get it now. Like, we understand that you guys will lie and manipulate to maintain power.”

“And you will protect the other elites that are around you and the other people in positions of power that are around you,” he continued. “And you will do it at any cost. And now we know that. And, you guys, it’s probably better for you if you recognize that we know it.”

Earlier in the episode, co-host Charlamagne Tha God said Democrats who want to lead their party must be honest about Biden’s decline. His comments followed a Tuesday interview he conducted on “The Breakfast Club” with Democratic California Rep. Eric Swalwell, who appeared to claim ignorance about the former president’s deterioration.

“Anybody that wants to be the future of the party has to throw the Biden shit under the bus,” Charlamagne said. “Now, Eric and all of these guys will be like, ‘Well, we didn’t know.’ You gotta cut it the fuck out.”

Moreover, Schulz said on “The Joe Rogan Experience” in March that he believed Democrats patronize Americans.

“I feel like there’s a lot of this, like, top down on the left. It’s like, you can’t talk down to people. There’s this, like, Ivy League pretentiousness in the Democratic Party I feel where they’re like, ‘We know better and just, you must be stupid if you don’t agree with us.’ And it’s like, all right, well, I’m stupid,” the comedian said. “I’m dumb. I’m dumb then, so why doesn’t somebody meet me where I’m stupid and start at least making me feel like I’m not an asshole.”

March polling by NBC News and CNN/SSRS showed Democrats holding record-low popularity ratings — 27% and 29%, respectively.
