The Questions Democrats Will Not Ask

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

They’re a curious group of people, Democrats. They demand answers to some things very few people care about while expressing complete disinterest, even contempt, in obtaining information on other topics. It’s almost like they’re frauds who posture for effect when it suits their needs and deflect when it does not. If my children acted like they do, I’d ground them. But these are adults, chronologically, many of whom are so entrenched in power it does not matter what they do. Still, it is worth asking what Democrats don’t want to talk about, because that’s what an honest media should be asking them about.

It's amazing what you won’t find if you refuse to look for it, isn’t it? When one of my Senators, the detestable and unaccomplished Chris Van Hollen (sorry, America, I didn’t vote for him), had his Prison Grindr moment with an “alleged” MS-13 gang member, it didn’t occur to him to ask about it. Why? Because that information would do no good to the cause he cares most about, why would he ask to be lied to directly when implied lying would do? 

Van Hollen doesn’t care. He knows the truth, everyone knows the truth, but this isn’t about the truth. This is about optics and emotion. 

Donald Trump made massive gains with Hispanic voters because of how the horrible policies of Democrats have failed them over the years. How many votes do you think they’d win if they said they’d keep doing what sucks? They have no intention of stopping doing what sucks, but they can’t talk about it, so they simply revert back to their default identity politics factory setting.

They believe that claiming a guy who has spent more time in front of judges, more than a dozen times, fighting his deportation has not gotten “due process” will somehow appeal to Hispanic Americans because he is Hispanic. It’s racist, of course, which is pretty much all the Democrats have, but it also isn’t working.

Democrats assume everyone is stupid, mostly because people vote for them. But average Americans are not. People have seen behind the curtain and smelled what Democrats are shoveling. 

The people most tormented in this country by Latin American gangs are Hispanics, legal and illegal, American or Green Card holders; it doesn’t really matter. And none of them wants these gang members anywhere near them. 

Democrats operate under this idea that people rally around anyone who shares a skin color with them, no matter what, for the simple reason that they share a skin color with them. But Hispanic Americans have no interest in helping Hispanic gang members, no matter the circumstances under which they happen to be in the country. 

The same goes for all configurations of people. White people didn’t rally to Charles Manson’s defense simply because he was white; we were happy when he finally punched his ticket to hell. 

With only rare exceptions, always at the urging and with the cheering of Democrats, no ethnicity offers blind loyalty to violent people because melanin levels are similar. Those who do are generally dumb and blindly vote for Democrats. However, they are a vocal but distinct minority in any human configuration. 

Van Hollen wouldn’t ask the question about gang membership, nor would he ask about the domestic violence police report his wife filed. She’s distanced herself from it somewhat, under what looks like enormous pressure from progressive interest groups and massive fundraising numbers. Hopefully, she and her kids, not the activists surrounding her, are getting that money.

Whatever the case, the questions deserve answers. Democrats are declaring the answers don’t matter…because they do their cause no good, so they won’t dare ask them. 

Those questions matter because the answers expose what Democrats are hiding. They wouldn't hide from these questions if they were proud of their actions. If they had the truth on their side, they wouldn’t do all they can to distract from it. If they were decent human beings, they wouldn’t be rushing to fight for illegal aliens at the expense of Americans. Actually, if they were decent human beings…they wouldn’t be Democrats.

They are very much Democrats, right down to their core.
