Well our top story today from thegatewaypundit.com.
It turns out that a former Obama intern and Democrat campaign worker speaks out after attending the DNC as a volunteer.
we're covering this and so much more here on the gateway pundits we can review my name is elijah schaefer and this is the gateway pundits we can review where we cover the top stories of the last 24 hours in around 10 minutes Our top story today comes from Jim Hoff, a former Obama intern and Democrat campaign worker speaks out after attending the DNC.
You'll have to stay to watch the entire video.
A former Obama intern and lifelong Democrat who voted for Joe Biden in 2020 has taken to social media to blast the Democrat Party in a scathing video that exposes what conservatives have long suspected.
The party is out of touch, elitist, and disconnected from the real struggles of everyday Americans.
The woman who identifies herself as Evan posted the video on X where she shared her disillusionment with the Democrat Party after attending the Democrat National Convention as a volunteer.
According to her, she left the convention early because it sickened me.
Evan, who has dedicated much of her career to working in progressive politics, signed up to volunteer at this year's DNC, expecting to find renewed faith in the Democratic Party.
Instead, she found herself more disillusioned than ever before.
Okay, I'm going to get real in this, and it's probably going to piss some people off.
Rather than just believing me, you're going to have to listen to this whole video.
Okay, I'm going to get real in this, and it's probably going to piss some people off, but I'm okay with that.
Because if I'm not being honest, then what else am I doing?
I just got back from the DNC where I signed up to volunteer.
And when I initially had signed up to volunteer, Joe Biden was still the nominee.
It wasn't yet Kamala Harris.
I've worked in progressive politics for a long time.
I have worked for many different Democratic candidates, Senate candidates, House candidates, even some Democratic organizations.
And as the years have gone by, I found myself getting more and more disillusioned with the Democratic Party.
Although until now, I've never said that out loud or anywhere public.
And I just want to say that by saying this, I'm not necessarily saying that the other party is better.
I'm just giving you my experience with working with the Democrats.
Throughout my career, I've mostly done campaign fundraising.
So I've seen it the way that it works behind the scenes.
And I know that candidates spend eight, nine, 10 hours a day just calling donors and begging rich people for money.
It's pretty much the only people that they talk to.
I mean, of course, sometimes they have to talk to voters, but the majority of their time is just spent calling and begging rich people to give them money for their campaigns.
And what this inevitably means is that we don't actually live in a democracy.
It's just rich people calling the shots and having the access to talk to the politicians.
They're the ones that basically get their ear all day.
They're the ones that can help shape and prioritize what the politician actually focuses on.
Even the politicians that detest this, that want to get big money out of politics, still have to play this game.
They still have to make these calls.
They still do the same amount of just calling rich people and begging them for money.
And what unfortunately happens once they get into office, if they get into office, is that they soon realize that the money machine is so great and the seduction of power is so immense that they no longer adhere to these values.
When I first got into politics, I thought that Democrats were the party of the people.
And at the DNC this week, I felt like I was in a building with the most elite and out-of-touch people in the entire world.
It very much felt like, let's just have a huge party and forget all of our problems because the vibes are brat.
When I was there, I didn't feel any connection to real America or the place that I come from, which is the Midwest, Kansas City, Kansas, and Missouri.
I didn't feel any connection to the people that I know right now who are struggling to buy their groceries or to pay their rent.
The people who want to know what both candidates are going to do to materially affect change in their lives.
And when I was there listening to the speeches, I felt myself feeling mad because I didn't hear anything about the economy.
Definitely not in Kamala's speech and not very much in the others as well.
Instead, I heard generic platitudes, things like joy and respect and integrity.
Let's make the military the most lethal in the world.
I thought I was part of the anti-war party.
I thought I was part of the party that fought for the underdog, that championed working people.
When and how did we just become the party of academia and affluence?
Because that's what we are right now.
How can we ever say that we're going to fight corporate power or give a voice back to those communities that have been left behind when above the delegates on the floor in levels and levels and rings of suites with donors and corporations that were literally looking down on the people below from above?
That's what Chris Cuomo said, and he's absolutely right.
You know, I went to the DNC this year hoping that I would feel reconnected to the Democratic Party, that I would have more of a sense of understanding of Kamala and her candidacy and what she stood for.
But instead, I ended up leaving and feeling the opposite, more disconnected and alone than ever.
And I don't think I can support Kamala Harris for president.
I don't even know if I can call myself a Democrat anymore.
I don't know who I'm going to be supporting, but I know it's not her.
And that sort of disillusionment is something that we're all feeling.
You know, I went to the RNC and I felt pretty much the same way.
It's like, you know, I work with people every day.
I'm talking to you guys.
We're connecting.
I know what you care about.
And, you know, we didn't really talk about this replacement migration, what's going on at the border.
We didn't talk about the things that matter, like nationalism and getting our country back.
It was a lot of just, you know, coup d'état.
We're not really racist.
You know, we love everyone.
And I feel like the establishment parties are genuinely out of touch with one another and they don't even understand the American people down to the core.
That being said, though, JD Vance in our next story had an interesting run-in.
He smacked down Kristen Welker on Meet the Press as she tries to run cover for Kamala Harris with biased questions.
Cole and Leinbarger reported that JD Vance turned in yet another masterful media performance, continuing to show why President Trump made a brilliant choice selecting him as his running mate.
Vance was a guest on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday with left-wing host Kristen Welker.
He was asked a series of questions, including on the inflation, economy, abortion, and his years-old comments on childless cat ladies.
Here's some of the interactions.
You can listen for yourself.
Watch.

Whatever the number is.
But I think there are reasons to think the DHS is underestimating.
Whatever the real number is, it's way too high, right?
It's millions upon millions of illegal immigrants that have come in just since Kamala Harris became the war czar a few years ago.
She was put in charge of the root causes of migration.
Well, the root causes of migration, I would say, Kristen, is that Kamala Harris refuses to do her job.
And he's saying, look, you can talk crap on us all you want, but we know exactly what's been going on.
Kamala Harris has let millions of people and she's been in control of the border.
And we need to realize that.
That's what's happening.
He also went on to explain something even better, too, explaining that they did a lot during the presidency, the way that Donald Trump actually brought factories back to this country.
unidentified
Listen, the estimates vary, but how do you respond to that charge that Trump's tariffs would hurt the middle class?
Yeah, so if you step back a little bit, Kristen, there's this whole thing that Kamala Harris did at the convention where she made a bunch of claims about what would happen and not enough actually reflection on what already happened, right?
Because Donald Trump was already president.
He used tariffs to bring manufacturing jobs back to our country.
And I think he'll do it again.
And he did it while keeping prices extremely low.
Because if you go back to the Trump presidency, we had 12,000 factories that were built during Donald Trump's presidency.
Inflation never really ticked above 2%.
His entire administration, in fact, was sort of around 1.5% most of the time that he was president.
So when Kamala Harris says, if we do the thing that Trump already did, it's going to be way worse than it was last time.
