Dr. Senator Saud “The Vax Czar of South Windsor” Anwar held a July 9 press conference to make an announcement no one asked for: democracy is dying, the rich are stealing from you, and only Hamden’s own Josh Elliott — best known for backing brain-dead ideas like free college, free healthcare, higher taxes, runaway spending, and the truly idiotic scheme known as Ranked Choice Voting — can save us.
Anwar, who spent the COVID-19 pandemic acting like Connecticut’s very own Anthony Fauci with a stethoscope and a God complex, now fancies himself the moral conscience of the state.
“You need to have a different management, with empathy, understanding, and work… and be the voice for the voiceless,” he said — as if the rest of us have been wandering around without a clue until he showed up to set us straight. Naturally, the only way forward, in his view, is to back Elliott — a man who treats every far-left fantasy like it’s straight out of The Communist Manifesto.
Yes, apparently the man who stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Lamont during lockdowns, business closures, and “two more weeks to slow the spread” now says the governor “isn’t right for this time.” In other words, Lamont isn’t radical enough for Dr. Woke-a-Lot.
Anwar warns we’re in a “policy disaster” — which is ironic, coming from the guy whose solution to everything is tax and spend.
Insisting this isn’t just about Connecticut politics — Anwar says it’s about “democratic values.” When asked about rifts within his party, he launched into a monologue that sounded less like a policy response and more like a campaign ad written by a committee of sociology majors.
“This is not a Connecticut issue. It’s a national issue,” he said. “How are we going to deal with when a federal government and the current administration is saying that they’re going to look at people and strengthen the ones who are the richest of the rich and take away from the poorest of the poor?”
According to Anwar, this redistributionist worldview is what “Democratic Party democratic values are all about,” which apparently includes scolding anyone who dares to veto a bad bill — like the housing boondoggle he backed or the scheme to pay union workers to go on strike, both of which Lamont wisely vetoed.
He then accused the governor of “not even interacting with the most vulnerable people,” and of “living in a bubble.” In Anwar’s world, refusing to rubber-stamp every bloated government program isn’t a policy difference — it’s a moral defect.
And if they manage to push Lamont aside, Anwar already has a plan.
First, he wants to raid the rainy day fund, which currently sits at roughly $1.9 billion, Why? Because — in his words — “it's pouring.” That’s his fiscal strategy: it’s raining, so let’s burn through the emergency cash like it’s Monopoly money.
Then comes the tax hikes: “sustainability… will require us to actually have the richest of the rich in the state of Connecticut pay their due share.” And finally — the legal genius part — if Washington doesn’t send enough money back to Connecticut, “we need to find a mechanism to say we will not give you the money till we get our money back… because they're stealing from us and they're not giving us our money back.”
Great idea, Doc. While we’re at it, can the rest of us withhold our money from the State of Connecticut until they stop stealing from us too?
Because no progressive rant is complete without a Trump reference, Anwar, made sure to deliver. When asked why Lamont’s experience under the Trump administration mattered, Anwar sniffed, “I’m not in the business of making Trump happy.” Don’t worry, Senator — no one had you confused with a Mar-a-Lago regular.
And here comes the part that belongs in a campaign ad — for his opponent: his endorsement of progressive darling Elliott, whom he compares to New York socialist Zohran Mamdani — because nothing says “electability” like shouting rent control slogans into a megaphone at a Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) potluck.
Anwar was careful to say this wasn’t about personality (which is wise, since neither of them has one), but about “values” — by which he means soaking taxpayers, growing government, and turning Connecticut into a knockoff version of San Francisco — minus the weather.
And of course, it’s all for “the most vulnerable.” That’s progressive speak for you’re gonna pay for it, whether you like it or not.
So to sum it up, Dr. Senator Fauci Jr. wants to blow through Connecticut’s savings, jack up taxes, pick a fight with the feds, and crown Josh Elliott as king — all while mumbling about “values” and pretending he’s the adult in the room. If this is the moral leadership Anwar thinks we’ve been missing, we’ll gladly pass. Connecticut doesn’t need another savior — it needs a break from the people who keep trying to save it.
