The scene at Davos this week laid bare the contempt the globalist elite hold for anyone who dares defend American workers and common-sense energy policies. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was met with open hostility at an invite-only dinner, an encounter that reportedly ended with former Vice President Al Gore loudly booing and the event being disrupted. The spectacle exposed how out-of-touch these gatherings have become with everyday Americans.
Lutnick didn’t come to Switzerland to play by the Davos script; he used his platform to call out failed globalism and to argue for policies that put American prosperity first. He warned against retaliatory European tariffs and predicted robust U.S. growth, saying the economy could expand north of 5 percent if Washington would cut rates and let businesses breathe. That blunt message is exactly what the left-wing Davos crowd hates to hear because it upends their favorite narratives.
Rather than back down, Lutnick owned the moment on Fox’s Jesse Watters Primetime, calling the single “boo” from Gore the greatest honor of his trip — and rightly so. He laughed as he recalled the former vice president’s theatrics and reminded viewers of Gore’s much-ballyhooed climate doomsday predictions that never came true. Conservatives should cheer a leader who can stand tall, speak plainly, and refuse to bow to performative virtue signaling.
Media reports say the dinner’s tension even sent European heavyweights scrambling, with indications that ECB President Christine Lagarde left the room and the soirée was halted before dessert. That kind of walkout says more about the fragility of the Davos consensus than it does about Lutnick. When elites flee from robust debate, it proves their arguments don’t hold up under scrutiny.
The Commerce Department pushed back on spin, noting only one person was recorded booing during Lutnick’s brief remarks — and that it came from Gore himself, who later admitted he “reacted with how I felt.” The back-and-forth shows the left will try to manufacture outrage to drown out pro-growth, pro-worker messages that threaten their control. It’s no surprise they would rather shout than debate the substance.
Hardworking Americans should take pride in officials who defend our interests on the world stage instead of groveling to global institutions. Lutnick’s defiance is a reminder that America’s prosperity was built on courage, not on the hollow platitudes of Davos elites. If conservatives keep pushing for energy independence, fair trade, and a revitalized economy, the left’s hissy fits and staged outrage will become nothing more than background noise.
