Jimmy Kimmel's Swipe at Markwayne Mullin Helps Explain Why Elitist Dems Have Lost the Working Class

The New York Times had a story in early January titled "How the Democrats Lost the Working Class." The entire article underneath that headline could have just been a giant picture of former Kamala Harris running mate Tim Walz jazz-handsing his way across a stage.
Media analyses aren't really necessary when the answer to the "how Dems lost the working class" question has been so obvious over the last few years. And then we have to take into consideration the DNC's late night propagandists.
For example, Jimmy Kimmel had this to say about the background of new Homeland Security Director Markwayne Mullin:
Alex Christy (@alexchristy17) ~ Jimmy Kimmel doesn't think Markwayne Mullin is qualified to be the Secretary of Homeland Security because he used to be a plumber ... "Before he was elected to the Senate, Markwayne Mullin was a low-level MMA fighter and a plumber. That's right. We have a plumber protecting us from terrorism now. It worked for Super Mario. Why not Markwayne?"

As usual, the elitism just drips from these people.
Yeah, poor Jimmy ... he's such a petty lil' guttersnipe. Next time Jimmy clogs up his toilet, it would be funny if all of the available plumbers responded with, "Nope ... not comin' to your house, scumbag."
CJ Pearson (@Cjpearson) ~ The elitism of Hollywood summarized in one moment.
But the guy in charge of the DHS during the previous administration did a bang-up job, right?
The ridiculous, serial lying buffoon Alejandro Mayorkas?! Yeah ... right.
Rhetoric Facer (@John_Monahan) ~ Mayorkas was an attorney and we all saw how that worked out.
Yep ... Mayorkas' legendary incompetence may have single-handedly re-elected Dondald Trump.
Lisa (@politeracy) ~ Lovely. He couldn't possibly loathe the working class more if he tried. Note: he leaves out the part where Mullin took his family business all the way to becoming the largest service company in the region. Has started other successful businesses, as well. On the other hand, if you dropped Kimmel into the cast of Survivor he'd be voted off the island on the first day.
Mark Hemingway (@Heminator) ~ I would much rather be protected by plumbers than lawyers.
Grateful Calvin (@shoveitjack) ~ These are the same people who fought tooth and nail to try to make everyone believe that Kamala worked at McDonald's (she didn't) and that AOC having been a bartender is why she should be President. I think the left has a messaging problem.
Well, it doesn't help that their incoherent messaging is delivered by self-absorbed morons.
That same bunch tried to pass Tim Walz off as a man's man. Yeah, they definitely have a messaging problem.
