Julian Epstein Blasts Media for Missing Democrats' 'Civil War' After Backing 1 GOP Senate Candidate

Summary
Julian Epstein told Fox News Digital the Democratic Party is already in a "civil war," accusing mainstream outlets of understating a split between moderates and far-left socialists.
Last week, the longtime Democratic lawyer broke with his party by endorsing Republican Mike Rogers over Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan's Senate race, a move he framed in a New York Post op-ed.
Epstein said outlets such as MSNBC and CNN were also failing to confront what he called rising extremism, identity politics and anti-Jewish bigotry on the left, tying that critique to Democratic alignment with Hamas-linked activism.
The comments cast his endorsement as part of a broader rupture among centrist Democrats, whom he said are realizing the party has lost its moral center.
