With his talk of increasing the defense budget, crapping on socialism, support for fracking and kind words about Amy Coney Barrett, Joe Biden has been sending strong signals that a future Biden administration will have no plans to accommodate progressives. And now we have further evidence, thanks to a recent Politico story revealing that the Biden campaign is vetting Republicans like John Kasich, Meg Whitman, Charlie Dent, Jeff Flake and Charlie Baker as prospective cabinet officials.

In this clip, Cenk and Ana light into Biden and the establishment Democrats who support him for normalizing Republicans, perpetuating myths about “reasonable” and “moderate” Republicans and giving the middle finger to the progressives who form the backbone of the Democratic Party. Cenk acknowledges that Biden is likely embracing these corporatist Republicans to help his fellow corporatist Democrats pass more unpopular tax cuts for the rich but says that this move is a slap in the fact to progressives who’ve donated millions of dollars to help him defeat Trump - and all just to elevate more Republicans?

Ana says she hates to hear defenses of this embrace of Republicans by Democrats as promoting “unity.” Why would you want to unite with people who support the very worst policies, she asks, and who, in the case of Flake and Dent anyway, voted with Donald Trump the vast majority of the time?
