Former Rep. Trey Gowdy discussed the opening night of the Democratic National Convention on Monday during a segment with his Fox News colleagues, noting at one point that protests by far-left demonstrators aligned with the Hamas terrorist organization are good for Republicans.

AnchorBill Hemmer began a segment by noting that his network will be talking to “a lot of folks this week in Chicago. A lot of those people are not happy with the Democratic platform and what’s going on here, and they’re going to be protesting in the city. And I know we talked earlier about them having all kinds of different causes.”

“I see it as one singular cause. And that’s the war in the Middle East. And they want Netanyahu out. They don’t like him. And they want the IDF out of Gaza and a cease-fire now; here is Donald Trump talking about what it’s like for Jews in America today,” Hemmer said as he played a clip of the former president ticking off his regular comments about the subject.

He then read from a Wall Street Journal editorial titled “Dangerous time for Jews.”

“Harris doesn’t want to upset the pro-Palestinian Democratic left. We’ll see this week if that bet pays off for Ms. Harris and the Democrats. But it would help if she denounced the anti-Israel voices in her party that are increasingly anti-Semitic. This dangerous time for Jews will become more so unless leaders stand up against the haters,’ end quote,” Hemmer said.

Gowdy chimed in: “With two of them just lost. Two members of the squad who are most pro-Hamas lost in their primaries? These protests may be the best thing Republicans have going for them.”

“So when you think about Minneapolis and the Pacific Northwest and Baltimore when [then-Democratic Rep.] Elijah Cummings was begging them not to burn down the neighborhood, these images of protests, particularly in support of a terrorist group, are the best thing that can happen for Republicans,” Gowdy continued.

He added: “The notion that we are going to create more victims because we think people have been victimized doesn’t resonate with the American people. So it’s going to be a tough week for Republicans because they’re not, you know, they’re not in control. But the more imagery you can show of people. Go back to October the 7th, killing women, butchering children, and you want to protest and reward that with a state. Good luck selling that to people in swing states.”

Harris’ so-called “honeymoon” period appears to be ending, according to a series of recent polls, including one from the key swing state of Pennsylvania.

An Emerson College survey released late last week shows Trump leading Harris 51% to 49% in the state, after distributing the preferences of undecided voters.

This indicates a tightening of the race compared to last month’s results, where Trump led Harris 51% to 45% among very likely voters. However, recent polling from the state had consistently shown Harris in the lead. Emerson’s latest data breaks from that trend.

Electorally, Trump maintains an advantage over Harris on key issues like the economy and immigration, where his policies have appealed to specific voter groups. However, Harris has shown improvement compared to Joe Biden’s previous performance in these areas.

Since becoming the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, Harris has enjoyed an avalanche of media praise, but that goodwill has crashed. Last week, the vice president rolled out a Soviet-style anti-price gouging plan that had even some of her most ardent media supporters attacking her.

The Washington Post Editorial Board shredded the Harris plan in an opinion piece published right after the announcement.

“Vice President Kamala Harris’s speech Friday was an opportunity to get specific with voters about how a Harris presidency would manage an economy that many feel is not working well for them,” the board said on Friday. “Unfortunately, instead of delivering a substantial plan, she squandered the moment on populist gimmicks.”
