Longtime Clinton ally Julian Epstein urged Republicans to take action within the university system to ‘save’ the country.

Partial transcript- I’m Julian Epstein. Uh, I’m a longtime Democrat. Uh, I was formerly the chief counsel of the House Judiciary Committee and the staff director of the House Oversight Committee for the Democrats.

In terms of the question as to what the Democrats can do right now to reverse course and, um, and shift back towards the center, the first thing is to recognize why the party is going off the deep end here. It’s first a question of incompetence. The party infrastructure is crumbling. That’s why it can’t keep out or fence out the lunatic candidates. The second is cowardice. People like Senator Schumer, who would have never embraced somebody like Syed. I worked with Schumer for years when he was in the House. He always used to tell me you have to say no to the far left. Um, he was very much in the political center. He was for mandatory minimums. He was for, you know, very strict policies on crime and immigration…

They have become cowards. They have become scared to stand up for what’s right. They have lost their moral core. And I think until the Democrats stop putting their finger to the wing to the wind with respect to this fervor that’s going on with the professional lunatic…extremists. Um, they’re not gonna be able to to do anything. But most importantly, I think this is an expression of the failure of postmodern liberalism. Postmodern liberalism has two tenets. One is grow the welfare state, and the other is identity politics. There’s plenty of evidence that…these ideas are not ideas that are building the country or building agency. And these morons on the left, who are completely illiterate on economics and history, um, say, well, let’s just do more of that. Um, so that’s the first thing. The first thing is to reject the idea that we need a growing welfare state. Um, uh, what we need to do is go back to building. This country has always…done what miraculous things and has been a force of liberation in the world.
