First Gen Z Dem in Congress declares marginalized communities ‘won’t survive another Trump term’

The Democrat’s youngest member went full-on fearmonger over “what the stakes are this November” should former President Donald Trump get re-elected: “…and that’s not hyperbole.”

The congressional version of “Kids Say the Darndest Things” played out on MSNBC’s “The Katie Phang Show” when she brought on Gen Z leftists, Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost (D), to touch on the presidential election.

This included seeking the lawmaker’s opinion on what President Joe Biden’s endorsements from The Latino Victory Fund, The Collective PAC and AAPI Victory Fund meant for the contest, prompting an apparent foreshadow of possible genocide.

“Here’s the thing, you know, it’s one thing to receive an endorsement from an organization. It’s another thing to receive an endorsement from three leading organizations that are saying ‘not only will we endorse the president, but we’re going to put $30 million behind ensuring that we deny Donald Trump a second term and that we re-elect President Joe Biden,'” began Frost before rapidly ramping up the rhetoric.

“And I think that just shows, number one, what’s at stake in this election, but especially what’s at stake in this election for our AAPI community, for our black community, for Latinos and for people of color — marginalized communities across this entire country,” he continued and charged, “many people who won’t survive another Donald Trump term, and that’s not hyperbole.”

“And so, I think this just shows, again, what the stakes are this November,” the congressman added without any pushback or follow up from the host who merely moved on to the next subject, Biden’s new ad touting him as “very young, energetic and handsome.”

Instead, after Frost alleged that Trump would “wipe his a**” with any hypothetical letters received from the congressman if he wanted to voice a disagreement with a future administration, Phang bid her guest farewell stating, “Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost, always delivering the truth. Thanks for being here.”

The Florida legislator has made a name for himself as a foul-mouthed flamethrower that included a previous appeal to low-information voters when he joined the band Paramore on stage during a concert to curse out his state’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.

“F*ck Ron DeSantis. F*ck fascism,” Frost had said before repeating the sentiment at a later date when he referred to the conservative statesman as a “f*cking fascist.”

“At the end of the day,” he told Phang, “I think people, when they’re in that voting booth, are less likely to think about age and more likely to think about who’s going to protect my right to choose, who’s going to protect abortion and who’s going to fight to end gun violence. And obviously, the choice is clear between Donald Trump and Joe Biden on who’s going to do that.”

More obvious to social media users reacting to Frost was the extremes Democrats were willing to take their rhetoric to scare voters away from policies that had led to the lowest minority unemployment rate, a thriving economy and no new wars among other accomplishments by the Trump administration.
