Yeah, Dore has opinions contrary to the Democratic establishment. That's why he's my favorite political commentator. He "doubts the credibility of intelligence agencies" because of failures going back to the WMDs lie that led to the Iraq War. He's also interviewed former intelligence agents who raise doubts about the agencies they worked for. He's reported on news outlets whose stories about Russia had to be retracted because they were false, he's discussed how we accuse countries of crimes without a proper investigation, and yes, he's called out war hawks in the Democratic Party. He also rails against injustices such as the people of Flint, Michigan having contaminated water and an economic system that has created record high income inequality. And yes, he goes after Democrats who claim to care about these people, but only give them lip service because they'd rather capitulate to their donors.James Patrick Anthony Dore (born July 26, 1965) is an American stand-up comedian, political commentator, host of The Jimmy Dore Show and co-host of The Aggressive Progressives on The Young Turks Network.
Dore was supportive of the Bernie Sanders campaign in the 2016 Democratic Party presidential primaries, being called "Sanders-obsessed" by The Washington Post. He was critical of Senator Elizabeth Warren for not defending Sanders in the primaries.
Since the 2016 presidential election, "Jimmy Dore has lit into Democrats for blaming hackers for their loss, raised doubts about the credibility of intelligence agencies, and seen the heavy hand of war hawks hyping the Russia connection to destabilize Europe and the Middle East," according to the Washington Post.
