‘It’s Embarrassingly Hypocritical’: Dem Rep Bashes Party’s Primary Meddling

Another Democratic congressman slammed his party for meddling in Republican primaries during a Sunday appearance on ABC.

“It’s embarrassingly hypocritical,” Democratic Rep. Ritchie Torres of New York told “This Week” host Jon Karl. “I mean, we cannot credibly defend democracy and then prop up candidates who are an existential threat to the very democracy that we’re defending. And in politics, when you try to be too cute and clever, it often backfires.”
