During one of his recent podcasts, conservative historian and scholar Victor Davis Hanson compared House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to Dr. Frankenstein, suggesting that just like in the story, they are unable to control the monster that they created.
This is actually a perfect metaphor.
It actually applies to all of the leading voices in the Democrat Party, not just Jeffries and Schumer. They all allowed this ideology to creep into their party and now it is talking over and they have no idea what to do about it.
Townhall has more details:
The Democrat Party is being consumed from the inside out by the Democratic Socialists of America, and it has no one but itself to blame.
Victor Davis Hanson, a classicist, military historian, and Hoover Institution fellow, argued Monday that the DSA’s growing influence resembles Frankenstein. Democrat establishment figures, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, he said, helped create a political monster they can no longer control.
“They were the Dr. Frankensteins, and they created this socialist Frankensteinian monster, and now it’s devouring them because they’re weak,” Hanson said.
And when you look at Hakeem Jeffries, he’s like a deer in the headlights. His eyes start rolling. Well, do you think you have the, you think that you have the votes to pass? Yeah, of course we do. And why wouldn’t we? You know, it’s just gibberish. And when you hear Chuck Schumer, it’s just, he bends over, and he reads off this script. We’re going to work very hard, and we’re going to elect Democrats. Well, does that mean we’re going to work very hard, and we’re going to elect Democrats? Does that mean you’re going to work with these socialists, or are there some that you can’t be in the same state? We’re going to work very hard, and who, I mean, I mean that. So they’re old, fuddy-duddy, ossified, calcified hacks.

The most ironic aspect of this is that of the DSA gets enough control within the Democrat Party, they will likely oust Jeffries and Schumer as leaders.
Many of them have spoken about it publicly.
