WATCH: Democrat Former Congressman Says ‘Toxic’ Party Needs to ‘Rebrand’ in Response to Trump’s Win | The Gateway Pundit | by Cassandra MacDonald

Former Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan, a Democrat, has said that his party needs to “rebrand” in response to President-elect Donald Trump’s big win.

Ryan discussed the matter while appearing on MSNBC’s “The Weekend.”

“We need a rebrand. I think you and I have been talking about this since 2016,” Ryan said. “Like, our brand is toxic in so many places and it is like, you are a Democrat? That’s the stuff we get like in Ohio.”

Ryan continued, “We need a complete reboot. We need a complete reboot with the DNC. We need a complete rebranding. We got to get back established into our values.”

“What does it mean to be a Democrat?” Ryan asked. “People want to trust us. They don’t want to go to Donald Trump. I’m telling you, the middle-of-the-road people, they’re holding their nose to vote for him but we did not give them enough, like, we are reindustrializing, we are talking about American competitiveness. We are moderate on things like natural gas in western PA which ended up being a big issue which we can’t be for natural gas replacing coal.”

Ryan asked why his party is seemingly at war with the cryptocurrency community.

“We are in a big fight with the crypto industry. What are we doing? Why are we in a fight with crypto right now? We’ve got to get back to the bread and butter policies.”

The former politician urged liberals to find common ground with figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

“We have to lead with growth. The other thing that I think is really big, we can’t be for solely redistribution. We are going to tax the bad guys who are rich, which we want people to aspire to make money in America. We will tax them because they’re really bad people and we’re going to give you money,” he said.

“No, it is about growing the pie. It is about getting back to — it is the Bill Clinton campaign. It is the modern Democratic campaign. Look at the touchstone.”

Ryan represented Ohio’s 17th district from 2003 to 2013 and its 13th district from 2013 to 2023. He left Congress to run for Senate against now-Vice President-elect JD Vance in 2022.
