Longest-Serving Woman in Congress Says She Feels Increasingly Alienated in Democratic Party
The longest-serving woman in Congress, Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio), told The Hill in a recent interview that she struggles with a growing sense of alienation within the Democratic Party as she fights for the interests of her largely working-class Midwest constituents while the Democrat Party is increasingly dominated by representatives from wealthy, often coastal districts.
“They just can’t understand,” Kaptur told the outlet, referring to the difficulty some of her Democrat colleagues have in relating to the concerns of blue-collar constituents like hers.
“They can’t understand a family that sticks together because that’s what they have. Their loved ones are what they have, their little town, their home, as humble as it is—that’s what they have.” . . .
“It’s been very hard for regions like mine, which have had great economic attrition, to get fair standing, in my opinion,” Kaptur said, adding that, as a Democrat who represents a working-class district, she feels like a minority within her party. . . .
“Several of my colleagues who are in the top ranks have said to me, ‘You know, we don’t understand your part of the country.’ And they’re very genuine,” Kaptur said. “You can’t understand what you haven’t been a part of.” . . .
In his first remarks following the November election, in which the GOP defied expectations and made gains in the House, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said, “This election cycle has made one thing clear: The Republican Party is now the party of the American worker.”
The 2020 election results, in general, reinforced the view that the Republican Party is poised to become a multiethnic coalition of working-class voters. In the presidential race, for instance, former President Donald Trump won the largest share of nonwhite voters, a traditionally Democrat demographic, of any Republican since 1960.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) commented on the fact that Trump won Zapata County, in Texas, by a margin of 52–47 percent in 2020, while he lost that same county to Hilary Clinton in 2016 by a margin of 65–32 percent. . . .
This is an excerpt from an op-ed by Bryan Dean Wright: I’m A Democrat, But It’s Time To Leave The Party
For years, Democrats like me have watched with increasing alarm as our own political leaders and activists – from Speaker Nancy Pelosi to media outlets like MSNBC – have used an endless stream of hateful, violent and ultimately un-American rhetoric that has resulted in billions of dollars in economic damage and given birth to a violent national movement. . . .
Consider the campaign of now-Vice President Kamala Harris.

I am praying for the righteous to leave the Democratic party. I pray for protection for whistleblowers and that there are many of them. I believe even the Supreme Court has become corrupt in denying due process. There is no stopping God’s judgment and it will come! It will take an act of God to deal with what these power-hungry, evil communists are doing. No proof of corruption is a lie. Pelosi and her puppets think they are gods. There is no repentance in their hearts. As long as Dominion is used for calculating votes, our Republic (democracy) is dead. The earth and this country belong to the God who created them. Now Bidden has declared all ex-military and police terrorists. God Save our country and Your people! Lord send Your lightning and reign.
Father God,
I pray for many more Democrats, especially those who are Christians, to have the integrity and courage to realize they can no longer support their party’s policies and behavior.
Give Your people wisdom and unity to work together for the good of all Americans.
Thank You for the beauty of the truth and justice You are bringing to this nation in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Lord, help us to return to a nation under Thee, united,with a heart for the people as is a republic. Until that time we all not heal from the wounds that both parties hurl at each other.Forgive us.
It is surprising to hear there are Democrats who are not filled with hate and violence. I didn’t know there were any. It is good to know.
Too much hate and vengeance has and is being shown by leaders like Pelosi and Schumer and others who want to obliterate Trump. They haven’t done anything to help our country or the people.
Everything they do is based on their hatred if one man and fear their evil ways will be exposed. This needs to change.
Lord, help us. We cry out to you.
I understand their frustration but with the voter fraud and tampering of voting machines it may not matter who you vote for if the fix is already in by whoever is responsible for altering the vote. May God help us and expose and correct this steal of America.
I’m oblivious to the sad story anyone may tell about “not understanding” the voice of the democrats. Anyone who voted with them is a party to the evil perpetrated. What’s not to understand about the way they fought the President of the people. Present Trump and won. So dark. Foreboding and if not for the Lord and His army we’d all be swallowed up. By the political parties as is evidenced in the wishy washy way the republicans have also done. I’m from Illinois and my republican rep said there was no election fraud. He’s lost my vote if it’s even counted fairly. My prayer is pull the rug out from under the evil this administration is calling for and let it fall flat without any chance to raise its ugly head again. If I were in politics I would be on my knees asking for boldness and wisdom to do what’s right before a very merciful God. Our children’s lives and futures are at stake. It’s ugly. God us very patient and long suffering.
Amen 🙏
I respect them for having the courage to leave a party they have loved and supported for years!!
The Democrat Party is the Socialist/Marxist/Communist Party now. They have been for some time! It took President Trump to completely pull the veil off their agenda. They have always had this plan in mind for our country. I hope many more wake up to this horrible deception that’s over America! Other countries are looking at us, in horror. They can’t believe the people in America have succumbed to this evil.
Yet…she voted to impeach President Trump! This person doesn’t care about Truth, if she did, her actions would tell a different story.
I am VERY opposed to those 7 Republicans who seem to always vote Democratic!!! But because of this woman, Marcy Kaptur, I would say, please stay in Congress and continue to represent your constituents, because there is no guarantee that the Republicans will represent them more than you. You must be in touch with your voters to be in office this long. Opposing opinions continue everywhere, but opposing someone doesn’t mean I am right or that they are right. We just need to get to a better opinion together.
I’m not sure if her constituents care about anything the party doesn’t care about. Her vote may show a different story.
Rep. Marcy Kaptur, I would gladly say “Come join the party that has traditional values, values that reach out to the interests and betterment of ALL areas of America.”
You seem to value and align with the era of the original Democratic party, versus the what the party has become; I commend you for seeing it and for wanting to represent your district that desires to be heard and seen. Yes, the party has gone extreme and has left behind what it’s voters and supporters truly desire for their community, families, jobs; so sad!
Let us pray that the eyes of their hearts would be enlightened (see Eph.1:18)
The democratic party was always like that – they just weren’t so obvious and somewhat toned down. Started the KKK. Fought against President Lincoln to free the slaves because they didn’t want them to vote – then when they could vote, they started their campaign against them to convince the blacks that they, the democrats, would support them, then, from there they talked the dads into leaving the home and the women and kids would get financial aid from the government. No, they always hated the black population. They fought for abortion for years. The democrats have always been against the black population, still are. Their elite discriminate against Christian Catholics, (morales) Blacks, and the family. Sound like communists.
So many have believed the lies. Prayers and the Blood of Jesus are their only hope – and it’s sad that they don’t even realize it.
You are speaking the truth! Southern plantation owners were Democrats. They wanted to Succeed from the Union. President Lincoln free the African slaves and they stayed in America. Ever wonder why they were not taken back to there own countries and tribes to be with families that got left behind. Maybe should have had that choice when they were freed. Wonder why??? Would have caused less Misery for everyone involved. They would not have resented future generations that had nothing to do with it (blm).
Father God, I pray for our elected officials that they will do what is just and wise. I pray for accountability for those who will not govern wisely and who break the laws. My prayer also is that we turn our hearts back toward You as a nation. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
PRAISE THE LORD! IT’S ABOUT TIME!! HATERS, LIARS AND EVIL-DOERS, EVIL-SPEAKERS ALL BELONG IN PRISON FOR NOT BEING LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS!!! WHEN THE HECK WILL THE HATE-SPEWERS END UP BEING IMPEACHED FOR ‘INCITING A RIOT’, AFTER SO MANY RIOTS THEY INCITED IN PORTLAND AND SEATTTLE, ETC.??? THEY ARE THE ONES THAT NEED TO BE IMPEACHED AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN YEARS AGO!! PLEASE PRAY THAT GOD WILL BRING REPENTANCE OR JUSTICE UPON THESE SATAN WORSHIPPERS!
GOD is opening everyone eyes. Praise the Lord my GOD!
time for Americans to see the truth of the evil and deomonic worship of many of our leaders.Their hate speech is disgraceful and their plans to take America are real and it is time for us to Pray and trust that they will be exposed along with the msm and all social media that are working to brainwash the citizen into thinking their sick narratives are real. God expose them for all their evil plans, all their child sacrificing , and support of murdering children.
God promised that HE would save America for it destiny to spread the gospel and I pray HE shows us HIs glory very soon.
There are citizens in Washington DC that are filming on YouTube what it is like since biden took over. Please go and watch. Heart breaking, two layer of riot fencing around the the White House, capital building and the supreme Court. It has barbed wire like in prison camps (ugly)(evil looking) the White House outside lights all turn off at 11:00 pm. (what ?) residences say it unheard of. I don’t think biden is even there. No blm or antif to be found like in the past Rioting ? Democrats told them to stand down. Mustang medic is one that is documenting all this. Check it out!
It’s shocking all the damage to this country the Democrat Party has done. I just finished reading the article reference above at the Daily Caller, “WRIGHT: I’m A Democrat, But It’s Time To Leave The Party” and the facts laid out in that article are beyond shocking, especially the vitriol expounded by Rep. Ilhan Omar and her “Squad” members (read: Gang of Four) and the extreme violence she incited against police officers in Minneapolis and elsewhere, telling “a crowd of supporters that the Minneapolis Police Department was a “cancer” that had to be “amputated” from the community…”
Political commentator Ben Shapiro was right, the Democrat party has lost its collective mind.
Amen!
it’s so difficult in the flesh, impossible, really, so we must, rise up in the Spirit, in the strength of our risen Lord Jesus
and love our enemies
bless those who curse us
do good to those who hate us
and pray for those who spitefully use us and persecute us
Dear Lord Jesus, please help us to obey You, for You, alone, are the Way!
I am so glad that GOD is showing you the truth. Welcome and May GOD bless you and your family! 🙏🇺🇸
This is a welcome to Julie!
Thank you, Cindy! I have been praying here with IFA intercessors since before the election and I just love this group of Godly Americans! I’m a long-time Republican but was a Democrat when I was very young. I’ve since repented to the Lord for that! 😀
Have a very blessed and wonderful day!
LOrd I am asking you to work on the hearts of all politicians across this country and give them your prospective on serving the people. Help the remnant to work on our maturity development to support your purposes. I am repenting of often pointing my finger at corruption and specific government leaders rather than praying scriptural mature prayers on their behalf. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God and I am pointing to me. LOrd you are refining the body of Christ and helping us to mature. I am asking for people in both parties to be changed by you and help the ekklesia to encourage more than we criticize and seek your purposes and your purposes along. I repent of sometimes having my own selfish agendas. HElp us pray from the third heaven prospective as we commune with you LOrd. No King but Jesus. I declare unity in the body of Christ. Who can stop the Lord Almightly? NO demon in hell.I trust you LOrd fo execute vengence acoording to your timing as needed for all of us.
Thank you for the on point article concerning today’s Dem party. Many have said for years that the old Dem party is dead and gone… they are absolutely correct. Anyone that tells you different is either brainwashed, completely unaware or just too stubborn to admit it.
On what I call a “long shot prayer”, I continue to (1) pray for any present Dem legislators (senate, house, etc.) to switch / leave their party while in office. I pray for that because it could / would upset and change the balance of power in government (2) there are a few Dem office holders who absolutely do not agree with the course of their new leftist party (3) it would be a miracle from God if/when that happens. After all, God is STILL in the miracle business. If we don’t ask for the impossible, then we won’t receive the impossible.
Amen 100,000000000000 times!
May I add to this, no disrespect, but the “old Democratic Party” was the characters that captured African slaves to use on there plantations and exceed from the Union. My two great, great uncles died at Gettysburg to free the slaves, and keep our country United!
No disrespect taken. I probably should have clarified my comment a little better in referring to the “old” Dem party. I was basically trying to state that they cared about the common working person, cared more so for the unborn and cared about working across party lines for the overall good of our nation. That part is long gone.
I Pray Matthew chap,5:6-20
Opened eyes! It’s contagious! Welcome!
GOD is blessing people!! Amen praise the lord!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 welcome to the truth.
Amen, I also vote values. Not All democrats are bad, corrupt people. Actually there is corruption in not only the Democratic party but it exists some in the Republican party also. We need to do our research and homework about candidates and not by what their personality is like or whether we like them or not. Voting values is the best way to be sure and what we need now is more Pro-Life candidates who is willing to protect the unborn. It really is dangerous to vote parties anymore and viewpoint determines destiny.
Amen to that! Viewpoint and values DO determine destiny.
Didn’t work biden is catholic. And I believe they don’t believe in abortions. Mitt Romey is a Republican and he siding against his own party.(he going along with biden) It’s easy to lie and tell everyone your against abortions, and once elected. Look what biden did the first two weeks in office.
It’s enlightening and encouraging to know that there are Democrats that are disillusioned with what the Democratic party has become and have chosen to leave that party.
It is good for them to speak out as it will embolden others to speak out as well.
I hope and pray that they change from Democrats to Republicans and vote to uphold the constitution and do what’s right for our country.
God please give them the strength to stand up for what is right based on the constitution and what honors You. In Jesus Name.
All of this chaos, evil, lies, deceiving, fake news, the hate, the unjust, the rioters, Covid hoax, etc. The flu killed millions of folks too, with underlying illnesses. But, they didn’t shut down the whole world. All stems back to the election , Democrats and China interfering, the lies, satan’s evil tricks. Everything that goes against God is what is the real problem in America. When we put ”’GOD”’ back in the picture as it will be and repent and change from your evil ways… God will heal and restore our land. In Leviticus 26:18 says….
After ”all” this…….. You still won’t listen? I will punish you for your sins ”7” times over! 7 times over, does that not scare anyone?
Wow….seems to be a loud direct consequence for the folks and their evil ways to me. Repent and change. Wake up folks, we’ve have been being lied to for years and years. Find the truth, read the Bible, confess your sins and change from them. Sins are anything that ”do not ” line up with God’s word. Prayers for all my Brother’s and Sister’s in Christ.. Come quickly Lord.. You will Reign forever and ever…. Amen
God was and ”still” is using Mr. trump and he is ”not finished”, just watch and seek the truth and you will find it.
Amen 🙏
I vote values. I quit voting parties many years ago. Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio) sounds like a great candidate. She has a great bio. I wouldn’t have even looked at her. She walks the line of Roe vs Wade. Yes, she wants some restrictions but I have not voted for a proponent of abortion for many years. I love many democrats. I have them in my family. I used to be one. It is dangerous to vote parties anymore. It has led us to where we are. The blood of our country’s children is calling out from the ground we walk on to a God, whose Word condemns the murder of the vulnerable, and He has heard. Something to consider. And who knows – maybe one of those children had the formula to put this virus to rest.
Thank God that we finally have a political party that is pro-life. President Trump, the most pro-life President, was who God used to save life which to me is our slavery issue of our day! We were not just cheated out of this election so were our unborn children!
Dear Heavenly Father, a great line seems to have been drawn and clearly defined over the last year. Many complain that it is getting harder to tell right from wrong, but I would argue that over the last year, those who would’ve see the truth have been able to more clearly than ever. The time has come for people to decide on which side of the line they stand. As it says in Luke 12:51-53
King James Version
51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
It sounds as though Representative Kaptur may have begun to realize she and her constituents are at odds with her party’s dark agenda. May You bless them and give them the moral courage to come over to Your side at this crucial time. Just as we see the Rino Republicans for who they really are, so too should we welcome these alienated democrats to our side if they will cross the line. While the democrats continue to claim to push unity, they really seem to want full domination of all under their wicked rule. As it says in Daniel 12:10, “Many will be purified, made spotless, and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.” Lord, I pray that all democrats who see the error of their party’s ways will cross the line to stand on Your side. In Jesus precious name I pray Oa’ Lord, Amen.
I respect them. It’s takes mighty courage to turn away from something that has been a big part of your life. I praise God for bringing the light to this man.
Both Political parties needs to be cleaned up.
I think one of the reason why people stay with the Democratic party is when they live in a small community of Democrats. Where they hear nothing but negative rhetoric about the other political party and are afraid to leave the Democratic party for fear of harassment.
Another reason is that being a Democrat is a generational thing for a lot of people. They stay with the party because their families have always been Democrats. This makes it hard for them to leave the party. And because of this they don’t want to know what the party is really about. They shut out all the negative things being said about the party. So when you are mentally bound by this generational “thing” that you have to remain a Democrat, it is hard to escape, until you make yourself do some research about the Democratic party. I, for one fit into this category, but have been able to leave because of the research and saw the truth. The democratic party was not always what it is today. Somewhere down the years the door was partially opened for the demonic, evil to have access to our country to bring destructions and chaos.
In recent years the door has been widely open for full access and that’s where our country is at now. Lawlessness, corruptions of all kinds, legal abuse of the judicial system, abuse of power for own benefits, crime against humanity, and it goes on and on and on. It is all about the love for power, for money and for control.
Father God we pray for a great awakening.
Amen.
More power to them!!! They finally woke up to the truth and are prepared and ready to move into a place of unity, love and trust. LORD, lead them onward to YOU and Your Word!
First of all, Kamala Harris is NOT a woman of color. This is just more dishonesty from a congenital liar. She and Biden are cut from the same dishonest cloth. They are both losers, in my book- not a smidgen of integrity exists in these two idiots. It is no surprise that there is division in the Democrat party. When the radical, Socialist/Communists hijack the Dem party, division is going to be part of the fallout. God help this nation!
Kamala Harris is Jamaican and Indian (India) mom and dad. One of them that is Jamaican owned slaves. Both parents come from a wealthy background. Not black at all. Or poor. Lies!!
Yeah, Cindy, she is about as black as Obama is from Hawaii! That birth certificate that he “provided” is SO bogus. The attending physician at his birth was listed as Dr. Al Quidea. This has become a party of pathological liars!
So now I am part of a cult? I think not. That term is used by liberals to portray America-loving individuals who call themselves conservatives and vote Republican – who follow a leader who puts the working class first because he puts America first. Trump understands. Marcy, why don’t you? You say you don’t recognize your democratic party anymore. Neither do any of the rest of us. But you still follow along with the herd and vote along part lines even though you know it’s wrong. Shameful.
Agree, she should follow what she thinks is the right thing to do, not what the party expects. All of the Congress should. America would be a better place if they did.
Let us pray that she and her constituents do cross over to the side of truth and justice. It sounds like her eyes are opening.
I am a registered republican, but had voted for Kennedy and Johnson in the past. For several years now, I have noticed the Democrats accusing republicans of things that THEY were actually doing. Even Biden said that if you tell a lie often enough, people will believe it. And, they have been lying for tears, now.
Yes, Janice, I noticed the same thing. The scheming Democrats are exceedingly hypocritical for what they accuse Republicans and Christians of doing, knowing there’s no evidence behind their accusations. I guess they have no cut-off valve. After all, they have the naughty fake news media in their pockets. It’s an unholy alliance.
We need to pray for them and against the demonic strongholds over them. May they repent to God and turn from their evil and wicked ways. Unless that occurs, they have cause to be fearful.
Romans 12:19: Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”
I have a question for Marcy, if you realize the ways of the democrats is not what it should be then how could you have voted guilty for the impeachment of President Donald J Trump? It was so blatantly obvious that the Evidence given by the Democrats was not correct nor honest. Why is it that the democrats hate President Thump so much the have lied and harassed him for 4 years never given him credit for all of his achievements during his time in office despite all the despicable things done to him and his family but when you have elected a true traitor in to the White House you cover and lie and turn you back to the things he is doing to destroy our country.
With the cult like following of Trump by the Republicans party I have left it. I have no party.
How can you leave the party that had a leader who did so much for America and Americans. How can you refer to us as cult followers? You were never a republican if you are using the Democrats propaganda to describe the party of law and order. . The republicans thanks to President Trump is the party for the working class and for
all races. President Trump make it so the black colleges did not have to come asking for money every year and with a EO Biden took that away from them he his done nothing with his EO’S except take away our jobs and make America more dependent on China. If you can’t see what President Trump has accomplished in his 4year term then you are listening to the democratic run mainstream media or like I said in the beginning you were never a republican
Amen and Amen, could not have put it better myself! If some cannot see Pres. Trump’s good track record over the last 4 years, then they Must be listening to the fake news media who are DEFINITELY on the Democrats side!!
Perfect answer. Follow the facts. Mr Trump did more for us as Christians and Jews fulfilling promises made decades ago . Mr Trump is the president. He talked publicly about our lord calling him by his name praying showing us real courage. Sorry about the lady who left the party of the American dream. If we don’t get in the battle we will lose our dream. It’s not perfect Nothing is until we get to glory. Thank you lord. Thank you mr Trump for paving the way back to the American dream which starts with our children and getting rid of the abortion bills just signed by satans team.
Not all Trump supporters are a cult. I agree some that call themselves Republicans or that follow Trump went WAY overboard. Elaine and Tiger are right. President Trump did so much good in the 4 yrs he was in office despite the constant fight with the democrats. There are still many good Republicans in office and hopefully more will come to replace the Rhino’s we have right now in office.
“The Truth shall set you free”…you obviously have missed what this is all about. We will pray for the scales to be removed from your eyes, as so many others need to do.
To hear this representatives views about the Democratic party was like a breath of fresh air. At least the whole group is not corrupt and evil. Now if enough of them (both Democrats and Republicans) will wake up and admit there is serious problems and start voting for their constituents and not their wallets we can turn this around.
The Democratic Party is not what it used to be since John F Kennedy ! I pray that they will see this and move away from it. It is evil!
My question would be so why are you still a Democrat?
Was trying to post on phone too tiny above Glad to see she is waking up to just how radical the party has become. I pray more and more see that this has become a party of distraction? And this should be the question to anyone in the party. Why are you still Democrat? Lord we ask that you open our eyes to see the truth. Both parties have great flaws and need to return to out Founding Fathers Biblical values.
