Democrat elites in ‘la la land’ over transgender athlete issue

Newsweek Senior Editor-at-Large Josh Hammer discusses the “structural issue” for the Democratic Party right now. A recent New York Times/Ipsos survey found around four out of five Americans don’t think transgender athletes should be allowed to compete in women’s sports. “You have this chasm between the Democratic elites, which are in total lunacy la la land when it comes to the open borders issue, when it comes to the transgender issue,” Mr Hammer told Sky News host Rita Panahi. “Unless they can find some way to repudiate their own party’s elites – the ladies of The View, the Barack Obama wing of the party ... they are just going to continue to flounder in irrelevance.”
