Democrats Launch 'War Room' To Keep Track Of Republicans' Abuses Of Power

Democrats this week laid out their plans for a rapid response "War Room" to counter the Republican investigations that are going to be a major part of the next Congress. This actually isn't a bad idea, and it will serve multiple purposes for the Democrats moving forward. They always seem to be ten steps behind the GOP on messaging, so perhaps this new plan could put an end to that. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

A Democratic group has announced that they're creating a new war room to take on the new Republican majority in the House of Representatives. It is a project called the Congressional Integrity Project, and their goal is gonna basically be to serve as a Communications depot for Democrats, you know, to keep an eye on all the investigations happening, make sure Republicans aren't abusing their power, which I think we all know they will. And most importantly, to craft media for Democrats to use to attack the Republicans. Now I gotta say, I love this idea. I think this is absolutely brilliant. You know, the, the biggest criticism I have had of the Democratic Party pretty much of ever is that they suck at messaging. They always let Republicans capture the narrative. They're always working from behind and they're never able to catch back up cuz they don't stay on top of things.

This group, it appears, is trying to right those wrongs. They're out there saying, listen, we're gonna be watching over their shoulder every step of the way. Every time they screw up. We're gonna let the public know we're gonna have press releases ready to go. We're gonna put ads together to run on tv. We're gonna disseminate talking points to other Democrats on how to do this, and we're gonna make sure the public knows every single time these Republicans go out there, do something stupid instead of doing something to help the public. That is a smart idea, and I like this. It is sorely needed with today's Democratic party because yeah, you're gonna have Democrats out there while Republicans are doing these stupid investigations. They'll go, they'll do an interview on CNN or MSNBC and they'll say like, oh, these pe this is ridiculous. We're wasting time here.

Well, guess what? Majority of people in this country are not watching cable news. They're not sitting on Twitter waiting for that clip to come through their feed. It's not getting shared on Facebook. So the way to do it is to put these ads together and put them out on television, which I hope is what this group does end up doing with this. But whatever it is, it's needed and this is a good first step. Obviously, we're not gonna be able to see exactly what this group is going to be doing until Republicans do take over and they finally, you know, kick it into gear. But I have hope for this. I think it's a brilliant idea and I wish them nothing but the best because the Democrats have got to get better at messaging and this is the way to do it.

It is about time they did. Fight Fight!

[michaelgrabianowski]

So sad that we have a party that needs to be watched and checked for lawlessness .

[davidvasquez]

The democrats need to have John Fetterman's campaign manager, teach the democrats how to properly go after republicans.

[ruthcavanagh]

Yes! That's a great idea! Somebody has to keep an eye on them Republicans and keep them accountable! They should have thought of this a long time ago!

[johnbroker]

I just hope they actually follow through with it this time!

[littlebirdling]

This is great!Dems have to toughen up and stay tough.

[kevinerskine]

I'm with you. Love this idea. If they want to act crazy, irresponsible, illegal and immoral, the least we can do is let the public know.

I would just recommend that those people in Biden’s administration due to the subpoenas that Trump and people in his administration did. Ignore and refuse every single one of them. Use their own game against them. Then when they try to say something about it just provide those republicans who refused statements as a basis.

[vaderbaby]

Good deal. They need to keep an eye on them. They've pretty much all promised to stir up a mess. It's obvious that Republicans think that is their only job.

[djybf]

Best to keep close watch on those abusers of power, as they've announced that they're gonna engage in nothing save just that in their revenge tour...

[Cwitch]

I really hope Rachel Bitecofer is attached to this; her messaging is impeccable. This is exactly what the DNC needs to start getting their game even with GOP nonsense.

[annem]

Get Katie Porter a bigger white board! PROMPT ads in regional locations of bombastic elected officials.

[nlpnt]

Love to hear it! This is the first steps in the Dems positioning themselves fully into the Sensible Party role for 2024 that won them the midterms in contrast to the GOP circus.

[dianne]

ABOUT TIME !!! They should have been doing this all along !!!

[dokskwyr]

I hope Bernie Sanders and AOC are part of this War Room. Knowing how vocal they are, not afraid to speak up, I'm sure they'll be sure to get the message out.

[Butterfly-td]

It’s about bloody time !!! We must be stronger and louder !!!!

[Beegee]

Hopefully the Dems learned something from candidates who were more assertive on addressing actual issues and Republican lies!

[davidroberts]

I can't wait to start hearing their news

[benjaminscribner]

Yes, show the people where their tax dollars are going. Show the people that the Republicans aren't working for the people. Maybe it will wake up some of the voters.

[JustMe-cszq]

I agree with Farron, I think it's BRILLIANT!!!
