Many are furious at the report
and say so on social media.
The fantastic success of the
World Cup in the U.S. has soured many Democrats who were hoping it would be a
black eye for President Donald Trump, according to a Politico report.
The report found that many
believed the complex logistics of organizing the global event might be too much
for American officials but that that hope has been dashed so far.
'What an absolute crock of
an article.'
"I think that there was a
little bit of like liberal wishcasting that this would maybe be a disaster to
sort of stick it to Trump,” said Democratic strategist Rob Flaherty. "It
hasn’t yet been."
It went on to say that
Democrats have pivoted from criticizing the tournament in anticipation of its
failure to praising local officials rather than crediting the Trump
administration.
The Politico report was
unwelcome on social media, where many on the left expressed their outrage.
"This is the most
hilarious stretch I've ever read," replied A.J.
Delgado, who identifies as anti-Trump. "Yes, nothing makes Dems more
uncomfortable than Dem-mayor Boston; Dem-mayor Atlanta; Dem-mayor Miami and
more doing a great job hosting. This is like saying Dems are struggling with
the Knicks' success."
"Why would Democrats
grapple with it being that it’s democratic cities that benefited from it?
Pretty stupid headline," responded Leslie
Marshall.
"What an absolute crock of an article," said another X user.
