Radio host Tony Katz says TV personality Judge Judy Scheindlin’s endorsement of former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg for president is a significant development in an already crowded field of 2020 candidates who are wholly unlikeable.
Judge Judy slammed the Democratic Party in a scathing op-ed for USA Today, admonishing Democrats for moving away from centrist candidates.
“I realize I am taking a personal and a career risk,” the 77-year-old Scheindlin wrote. “I have carefully stayed away from politics for 50 years, except to vote. But times have changed in our country, and I believe the moment has come for me to step out from behind the curtain. I want to speak honestly and from the heart — regardless of the consequences.”
Scheindlin called the 2020 election the most divisive in our country’s history and stated that Bloomberg, who is not a 2020 candidate at this time, is the “only person out there who seems to understand that screaming at one another gets us nowhere.”
Tony Katz responded during a Thursday morning appearance “Fox & Friends,” noting that there’s no 2020 candidate in the field for Democrats to “coalesce around.
“ObamaCare used to be the most radical left position there was, and now ObamaCare is Amy Klobuchar talking about being a centrist-Midwestern pragmatist. … It’s madness how they move the goalposts,” said Katz.
Katz said that the Democrats’ move to the far left started with President Barack Obama and an education system that told people that they were being “oppressed” and what the “government should do for you as opposed to what government can’t do to you.”
Judge Judy’s op-ed expressed general frustration with the volatility of the political landscape and the Democrat party’s radical and unrealistic proposals.
“In this campaign, candidates are fighting to out-left each other with pie-in-the-sky proposals for free money and free education. Everybody gets a thousand dollars, everybody gets free college tuition. Everybody gets, everybody gets, but where does all this getting come from?” Scheindlin wrote.
“If Judge Judy got in the race, she’d be at 17 percent in Iowa today, based on that message,” Katz responded.
