Bill Ackman sounds off on 'crazy, radicalized' Democratic Party, argues it's in 'worst place it's ever been'

Investor Bill Ackman called the Democratic Party "crazy, radicalized and anti-American" during an interview on Tuesday, arguing that the party is "in a very bad place." "I think the Democratic Party is in the worst place it's ever been, in the 250-year history of the country," Ackman told Katie Miller, host of the "Katie Miller Podcast." "I think it's become like this crazy, radicalized, you know, anti-American thing.

I think it's — and by the way, I think there's some very high-quality Democrats, you know, senators and, sure, some congressmen — but the party itself, I think, is in a very bad place." Ackman specifically named Sen.

Chuck Schumer , D-N.Y., as someone he used to be friendly with but now believes has "compromised" on his values.

"You know, actually, Senator Schumer, I had a good relationship with him over the years.

I thought he was a good man.

But in recent years, I felt he's just trying to keep his job." "And, you know, that's the really low point for politicians when they'll compromise on their values, and they'll support, you know, a quasi-terrorist, perhaps running for Senate in Michigan, because they have to for the party," Ackman said.

"Stuff like that to me is, or terrorist supporter, is not, that's, I find that pretty, deeply concerning." Schumer's office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

"Chuck Schumer has been in Washington long enough to know exactly what’s happening to his party.

The question isn’t whether he sees it.

It’s whether he’s willing to do anything about it," Y.

David Scharf, chair of Morrison Cohen’s government strategies and controversies practice, told Fox News Digital of Ackman's remarks.

"There’s something remarkable about watching one of the most powerful Jewish Democrats in America struggle to stand up to the very people in his party who are alienating Jewish voters," he continued.

"Bill Ackman isn’t asking Schumer to become a Republican.
