Legal expert unloads on Dems who campaigned on Trump as a threat — but 'don't believe it'

A former litigator and justice correspondent at The Nation slammed Democrats on Thursday night who he said seemingly campaigned on the platform that Donald Trump was a threat to democracy — but "don't believe it."

Elie Mystal took to X on Thursday night to weigh in on the election, specifically the "lessons" Democrats must take away from the election.

"Dems talking about the lessons they need to learn for ‘28 are revealing to me why Trump as a 'threat to democracy' didn’t stick. Because even DEMS don’t believe it," he said.
