Quoting colleague E.J. Dionne, she cautioned that if Republicans win in November that could lead to "far more radical and sinister forces" trying to "undermine democracy."
On MSNBC's "Morning Joe," branding guru Donny Deutsch fretted that pocketbook issues would win out with voters this year and in 2024 as more important to them than America's democracy being "in peril."
"I'm concerned and everything in my gut tells me… unfortunately, the gas prices and bread is going to be more compelling," he said Thursday.
Polling bears that out
After downplaying concerns about the economy in the last year, some media outlets are now panicking that high gas prices and inflation will tank Democrats in the midterm elections, with some pundits even scolding voters for making it a priority.
MSNBC host Joy Reid and political analyst Matthew Dowd characterized a red wave as a "threat" the media needed to warn voters against on Monday.
Fellow MSNBC host Tiffany Cross took the same approach on her show Saturday, complaining that inflation was more of a concern for voters than the Jan. 6 committee hearings.
"Come this November, will voters be more concerned with saving money than saving democracy?" the "Cross Connection" host asked.
Cross griped that inflation and "high prices" dominated media coverage, which led Americans to be less interested in the "compelling testimonies and evidence" in the Jan. 6 committee hearings.
This constant storyline of inflation, and people are feeling it at the grocery store. So it is challenging when, come November, when it's time to cast a ballot," she began, adding that she wondered "how seriously" voters took the threat of Republicans winning in November.
"The View" host Joy Behar absolved Biden of any responsibility for the energy crisis and said Republicans just wanted to make Biden "look bad."
"And by the way, inflation is a worldwide problem, he's getting blamed for that. The gasoline is a worldwide problem, yes its $5, $6 here, it's like $11, $12 in Europe. So you cannot blame the president for every single thing," Behar continued on the June 6 show.
