“With President Obama and with some other people who were early followers, they would try to hide their radicalism a little bit. 
Now it’s just out there, completely open. 
And in uniparty areas like cities or really blue districts, you’re seeing that they are just letting the freak flag fly about what they’re going to do,” Federalist Editor-In-Chief Mollie Hemingway said on Fox News’ *America Reports*.
