Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Saturday that President Trump has “broken the Democratic Party,” adding that it has become “leaderless” and party members are “fighting among themselves.”

“It is a huge mess,” McCarthy said of the present state of the Democratic Party in a conversation with radio host John Catsimatidis on “The Cats Roundtable” Sunday on WABC 770 AM. “It wasn’t just that President Trump won the election. He has now broken the Democratic Party,” he said.

“If you think about it, they are leaderless. There’s no message, and their polling continues to drop. They are now fighting among themselves,” he continued.

McCarthy added that House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) are displaying “weak leadership.”

The former speaker went on to say that Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who recently addressed a joint rally in Las Vegas, are currently leading the party.

“The real leaders of the Democratic Party right now are AOC and Bernie Sanders. Those are the two that are getting the crowds,” he said.

In response to a question about Schumer supporting the stopgap bill that averted a government shutdown earlier this month, McCarthy said, “But his own party attacked him for it.”

“I mean what you are finding out here is the House is without a leader. What has Hakeem Jeffries done? He has no messaging. He can’t make a decision. You got AOC leading the Democratic Party now,” McCarthy said.

“I don’t know how much longer Hakeem Jeffries and Schumer can stay leaders. They’re in hiding,” he said, adding, “Their own party is working against them.”

The California Republican further said that the Democratic Party’s leadership challenges show how strong Trump is. “His polling is getting stronger, because he secured the borders. That’s what he said he would do.”

McCarthy also slammed California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), calling him a “chameleon” and accusing him of now “talking like a Republican” and featuring a slew of Republicans on his new podcast “This Is Gavin Newsom.”

“Gavin is the biggest chameleon who ever lived,” McCarthy said.
