Scott Jennings Rejects Comparison of Far Left DSA to the Tea Party: ‘You Can’t Draw Any Equivalence’ (VIDEO)

In recent weeks, quite a few Democrats and people in media have tried to compare the rise of the DSA in the Democrat Party to the rise of the Tea party in the GOP, but that is a false comparison.

The Tea Party wanted Republicans to return to Constitutional, small government and common sense spending. The DSA wants to burn the Constitution and the country along with it.

This weekend on ABC News, Scott Jennings rejected an argument from longtime Democrat figure Donna Brazile when she tried to make this comparison. He is exactly right.

Transcript via ABC News:

DONNA BRAZILE, FORMER DNC CHAIR & ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR: Well, first of all, I think she’s a smart politician. She clearly has spent some years in Congress understanding that you got to build a coalition, that you got to go out there and represent your values and views. But as you know, I’ve been in this big tent party probably longer than most people.

And I can tell you, we’re having the same kind of growing pains I saw on the Republican side, whether it was through the Tea Party in 2010, the activists who helped to bring about the MAGA movement. We’ve seen this tension both on the right, the populism that, you know, created a wave election over the last several decades, and now on the left…

JENNINGS: Of course. And it would be an honest thing to do because that’s what it is. And with all due respect to my friend, Donna, there’s nothing like, you can’t draw any equivalence between the Tea Party movement and the Socialists.

For one, the Tea Party folks weren’t trying to bring about the downfall of Western civilization and the United States of America. Abolish the police, abolish ICE, abolish borders, abolish the Senate, abolish the Constitution — there was nothing like this in the Republican Party.

So it’s an extreme political ideology that is gaining traction. The Democrat leadership has lost control. They know it. And people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Hong in Wisconsin, Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, you talk about the big ten (ph), the Democrat Jewish attorney general of Michigan cannot even go to her party’s nominating convention because she says, I won’t be safe there because of the supporters of Abdul El-Sayed.

You can’t draw any equivalence between what happened in the Republican Party with the resurgence of patriot conservatives versus these anti-American radicals.

There is no comparison between these two groups.

The Tea Party wanted a stronger America, the DSA seeks to destroy it.
