Democratic strategist Leslie Marshall is catching heat for trashing President Donald Trump’s second administration.
Marshall joined Mary Katharine Ham on Fox News’s MediaBuzz to discuss Trump’s economic policies, where she bashed the budget cuts resulting from the Department of Government Efficiency’s work.

The left-leaning commentator started off by calling the Veterans Affairs cuts “immoral” and “un-American.”
“What they are doing to veterans is immoral, it’s un-American, it’s horrific, it’s very hard to justify the kinds of mistakes that are being made,” she said. “You know, when you have people whether it is in air traffic control or a cancer researcher that they’re fired, then they’re brought back, then they’re fired again, this is the chaos that those in my party that did not vote for this man, this administration and this party because of this, because of the chaos. And we’re not alone. I know everybody wants to say, oh, the George Soros plants — they’re not. These are people that are angry. You can see them all over the place. I voted for Trump, but I didn’t know he was going to take my job, my wife’s job, my kid’s job in the federal government. I voted for Trump, but I didn’t know he was going to deport my grandmother who is not a criminal, she came here at the age of three illegally.”
“To Mary Katherine’s point, I would agree he’s going to pay for it, and I think Republicans are going to pay for it heavily in the midterms. I always worried about crowd size back in 2016 with Trump. Republicans should be worried when they see what’s happening with Bernie Sanders right now,” she added.
Elsewhere in the segment, Marshall trashed Trump’s tariffs.
“This is what happens when you have business people running a government,” she whined.
“What he doesn’t talk about is how your 401(k)s, your kids’ education funds, your IRAs are tanking because of the decisions that he is making and that Republicans are blindly going along with despite their constituents saying, please, don’t do this to us.”
The comments quickly gained traction online, but not because they agreed with the Democratic strategist:

Having Leslie Marshall on is a good reason to turn off @MediaBuzzFNC

#Mediabuzz @LeslieMarshall wants us to believe Biden never happened and Democrats, who still want children surgically mutilated as treatment for mental illness, are the party of science. Still trying to gaslight people.

Why does @FoxNews continue having Dem deranged people like Leslie Marshall who look in the camera and blatantly ignore the truth. She’s upholding the Left’s talking point that Trump is going to destroy Social Security. Not a good look.
