Detail

Philippe Reines is a United States political consultant associated with the Democratic Party. He has been known to engage in opportunistic anti-trans commentary in the mass media.

Timeline

2024, November 8. Reines appears on CNN This Morning to discuss the 2024 elections and the Democratic Party’s defeat. His remarks run, in part, as follows (Hunt, 2024a & 2024b):

I’m not concerned right now what the right thinks about the Democratic Party. I’m concerned about what I think about the Democratic Party. … we are being held hostage to the far left … I think Democrats believe in common sense stuff more than you’d realize. … Most Democrats I know think, frankly, that males at birth shouldn’t play women sports and vice versa. …

On the other cultural stuff and I don’t even know how to refer to it without saying something — again, I’m afraid to say something wrong — but the woke stuff, the PC police stuff. …
