What I can say, though, about Democrats, and as someone who is working to win the majority, what I can say is that politics are local.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Blunt Rochester clarified, adding that Democratic candidates run on different ideologies depending on geographic location.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFish might not work in New York, or it might not work in North Carolina, but that works there,\u201d she said of Alaska Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola\u2019s \u201cFish, family, and freedom\u201d campaign.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so for us, the most important thing is that we hear the people. We want to be known that we\u2019re listening to them and that we\u2019re fighting for them. And again, it might look different in different places across the country, but we do believe that people are concerned about this economy and the cost of things. And so we\u2019re going to continue to fight for them. So to me, it\u2019s a win-win,\u201d Blunt Rochester said.<\/p>\n<p>But the devastatingly viral moment came when host Joe Kernen straight-up asked, \u201cWhere has socialism ever worked, senator?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs that another question, or is that for the next interview?\u201d she floundered, clearly wanting the interview to end.<\/p>\n<p>When Kernen repeated the question, Blunt Rochester doubled down on nonsense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, when you have me come back on, we can talk about all the races across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Democrat Sen.
