A glamorous journalist appeared on a popular podcast earlier this week revealing many reasons she has turned against her once-defining Democratic party, sharing she now feels ‘politically orphaned.’
Ana Kasparian, 38, host and a producer of the online news show The Young Turks, made a guest appearance on Jillian Michaels’ podcast sharing that she ditched the Democratic party after they sympathized with a homeless pervert who molested her back in 2022.
The California-native opened up about her traumatic experience years ago, sharing that while she was out walking her dog in Los Angeles, two men – both assumed to be homeless and under the influence of drugs – had erections and grabbed her by the waist and proceeded to thrust into her body.
Kasparian, who is married to high school physical education teacher, said the turning point in her political stance was after the alleged molestation when she was scolded by liberals following her confession of feeling fearful to leave her house.

Some of the messages claimed she was ‘painting a wrongful picture of the homeless community,’ some even calling her a racist – though she ‘never disclosed the race’ of the men. ‘That woke me up,’ Kasparian said

‘That woke me up,’ Kasparian said.
‘Some of the people that I’ve associated myself with because I thought they were the good people… definitely have stereotypes in their head and are totally blind to the fact that they have those stereotypes and go around accusing others of being bad actors when they themselves need to do the work,’ she added.
The nearly two-hour podcast went on to detail the two women’s thoughts on the recent political climate with both of them claiming the left ‘forces people to defect.’
Kasparian, who was once aligned with the Democratic party said: ‘I’m at a point where I do not want to be pigeon-holed in any political tribe or identity.
‘Everything has become dogmatic and if you don’t buy into the entirety of the dogma you open yourself up to backlash. It’s not a fun experience,’ she added.

The now politically independent journalist tore into recent efforts to ‘demonize and even dehumanize the other side’ – while admitting she used to be a person who ‘bought into’ the stigma of ‘if you disagree with someone politically than that means you can no longer be friendly to each other,’ something she attributed to the ‘Trump era,’ of politics.
Both women then said they identified with disaffected Democrats who now feel unwelcome in their former party.
‘I want to begin this journey of rejecting political tribalism. I want to feel free to think for myself,’ Kasparian said.
‘Once I finally felt comfortable to raise concerns about how the left talks about crime for instance, [I felt as if] they couldn’t wait to purge me. I’m not pure enough, I’m not good enough, you’re not good enough,’ she recalls feeling before admitting her disassociation with the leftist-party.
Kasparian said she also disagreed with the ‘defeatist mentality’ shown towards minorities, adding that ‘we should celebrate people who want to better themselves and better their lives,’ in a time that she finds to be particularly politically polarizing.
