In the wake of their resounding Election Day loss, the petulance among many Democratic Party leaders has been palpable in a variety of ways.

For Fox News Channel host Harris Faulkner, one inexcusable response from many on the left has involved a sharp uptick in the use of profanity.

She addressed the topic during a recent episode of “The Faulkner Focus,” and bristled when guest Fred Hicks, a Democratic Party strategist, attempted to defend such behavior.

As the Daily Caller reported:

“What is going on in your party and do you think you can fix it quickly?” Faulkner asked Hicks after playing a video montage of Democrats cussing, with Hicks responding, “So, Harris, I’d just like to remind all the viewers this is something that happens normally after a party loses an election.”

“No, no, no, no, no!” Faulkner responded. “Did you hear the cussing?”

Democrats have also made widely-panned outreach on social media. Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Lauren Underwood of Illinois, Katherine Clark of Massachusetts, Judy Chu of California, Crockett and Susie Lee of Nevada took part in an 18-second video similar to the character selection screens of the arcade and console franchise Street Fighter that influencer Sulhee Jessica Woo posted on Instagram March 5.

“Well, listen, four years ago, Republicans couldn’t decide if the election was free and fair or stolen and Donald Trump said they were and Republican, you had governors across the states-” Hicks said before Faulkner interjected.

From widespread protests to the behavior of lawmakers during President Donald Trump’s congressional address, there have been ample examples of Democrats appearing to be sore losers in recent weeks:

As an op-ed published by The Hill prior to Trump’s inauguration outlined, the Democratic Party appeared to dig into its unpopular platform in the wake of November’s loss instead of recognizing their error and attempting to correct course:

In normal circumstances, a party that fell short of preventing a crisis like that would be expected to engage in real introspection about what went wrong. Leadership changes would be expected. Like Republicans in the aftermath of 1960 or even 2008, the party would radically re-evaluate the decisions that led to this moment.

Not so in this Democratic Party, where long-time leaders are trudging forward as if nothing happened. From former Harris campaign staffers dissociating in the press to Capitol Hill leadership elections that reject even the premise that anything should change, Democrats are choosing to close their eyes to structural problems at the top of their party. Accountability, it seems, is for other people.

That won’t fix anything.

Recent media interviews reveal party elites who see themselves more as passive observers than as the Democratic Party’s change agents. That’s hardly reassuring to voters who are depending on Democrats to get it together and mount a focused campaign to take back Congress in 2026.

On Monday, Kamala Harris deputy campaign manager Rob Flaherty lamented to Semafor that Democrats were “losing hold of culture.” In other words, Democrats had no response to Donald Trump’s nonstop digital and alternative media blitz — especially his appearance on Joe Rogan’s hugely influential podcast. Flaherty acknowledged that “the institutions by which Democrats have historically had the ability to influence culture are losing relevance.” So long, cable news.
