Political analyst Mark Halperin reminded Democratic former Nassau County Executive Laura Curran on Wednesday that her party contains numerous “bullies” after she accused MAGA supporters of “bullying.”
President-elect Donald Trump’s MAGA allies appear to be successfully influencing Republican senators to approve his Cabinet picks, ABC News reported Tuesday. Curran, on “The Morning Meeting,” suggested MAGA supporters have been pushing senators into changing their opinions of Trump’s defense secretary pick Pete Hegseth, but Halperin retorted by recounting examples of alleged bullying tactics within the Democratic Party.

“So, as a Democrat, I’m looking at a lot of this from the outside of the Republican Party, and it seems like there’s a lot of bullying going on of elected officials to be with MAGA, even if that’s not where their heart is. And when one is bullied, one becomes resentful,” Curran said. “So two things could happen: either they rebel, or they just suck it up and become more resentful and miserable.”
“The strategies of the MAGA people are obviously very smart. Look what’s happened with Pete Hegseth’s turnaround. But also it’s not just those elite-type folks. It’s also the people out there, the Charlie Kirks and all of those folks, who … got the trolls and the bots and all of this stuff, guns trained on people who don’t behave,” she added. “So just play this out: if things go really bad, what do you think would happen to Trump and MAGA?”
Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer responded by saying Trump will always retain his “base.” He also suggested Democratic California Rep. Nancy Pelosi has been a bully, although he acknowledged she may have used more “covert” tactics than MAGA supporters.
“And it’s not just Nancy Pelosi, Laura. As you know, you had three years of failed policy on immigration, three years of failure to deal with inflation, you had failed … and you had a failed Afghanistan withdraw, and then you had the logical conclusion: well, maybe our very old, infirm president should get a primary challenge,” Halperin said. “Well, why didn’t he, except from Dean Phillips? Because bullies — bullies who worked for Joe Biden — called people who got out of line and said, ‘Get back in line or you’ll have a price to pay.””
“So I say, with respect, sure, there are bullies in MAGA, but there are plenty of bullies in the Democratic Party, and they arguably cost the Democrats the White House … By bullying people into silence, they allowed Joe Biden to keep the nomination up until it was too late, in the view of the vice president’s people, belatedly, to replace him and win,” he continued. “So I think Sean’s right that they’ll stay loyal to Donald Trump, but I also don’t think one party has a monopoly on bullying.”
Former Democratic North Carolina Rep. Tricia Cotham officially joined the Republican Party in April 2023, asserting the present Democratic Party is intolerant.
“The party wants to villainize anyone who has free thought, free judgement, has solutions and wants to get to work to better our state,” Cotham stated during a press conference at the time.
“If you don’t do exactly what the Democrats want you to do, they will try to bully you. They will try to cast you aside,” she added.
Democrats have also repeatedly pushed for censorship, including of their opponents. For instance, Democratic lawmakers, led by then-California Rep. Adam Schiff, wrote a letter to billionaire Elon Musk in October to pressured him to censor “election misinformation” on X.
