Emily Compagno, a co-host of the Fox News program ‘The Five,’ has voiced her concerns about the Democratic Party’s evolving criteria for leadership. During a recent segment, she criticized the party for measuring its leadership based on social media engagement rather than on the qualifications and expertise of its members.
Compagno’s remarks were particularly focused on the rise of Rep. Jasmine Crockett, a Democrat from Texas. She argued that Crockett’s increasing popularity within the party is not due to her policy expertise, but rather due to her ability to generate attention on social media platforms. This, Compagno suggests, is a troubling trend that undermines the party’s ability to effectively lead and govern.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and others have also been mentioned in discussions about the Democratic Party’s leadership, highlighting the broader issue of how the party is choosing its representatives. Compagno’s comments underscore a growing concern among some conservative observers about the direction of the Democratic Party.
