Democrats Always Rally Around The Worst People

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

Is there a single Democrat you’d trust to water your plants if you went out of town for a week? Is there one you’d ask to watch your kid, even for a minute, in an emergency? The answer you’re looking for is no, you would not. You wouldn’t because you have a brain; you wouldn’t because you’re not an idiot. But mostly you wouldn’t because you see with your own eyes who these people are and what these people do.

If you left your kid with them you’d expect a Democrat to try to “transition” them. Why? Why not? It’s what they do, it’s who they are. It’s what one of their top priorities are, and you can tell everything you need to know about someone by what their priorities are.

If you were an illegal alien, you might be able to trust a Democrat to water your plants. They love illegal aliens like Eric Swalwell likes Fang Fang. But like Swalwell, Democrats are constantly elevating the wrong people.

Ever heard of “LaMonica McIver”? Probably not. She only assumed office after her predecessor, another Democrat, died last year. She won the special election to replace Donald Payne Jr, then the general election in November with 74.4 percent of the vote, so you know you’re dealing with someone elected because of their party, not their intellect. 

I would joke that “She’s single, fellas,” but she apparently not…poor bastard.

Here is where I would list her accomplishments, but she doesn’t have any. She hasn’t been in Congress long enough to have done anything, and she hasn’t. She’s not likely to, either. I mean, she’s a Democrat from Newark who served on the city council. Has anything good come out of Newark?

But she hit and shoved an ICE agent, which makes her wildly popular among Democrats.

How does this idiot, who is on video assaulting a federal officer? In a fundraising emails, LaMonica wrote, “The Trump administration just charged me with crimes for engaging in congressional oversight. This is a first -- and it’s a flashing red light for our democracy. I conducted oversight at an ICE facility in my district to do my job and my lawful right as a member of Congress. It’s clear: Trump and his administration are more concerned with punishing anyone who dares to speak up than transparency or oversight.”

Literally nothing she wrote there is true, but it doesn’t matter to Democrats. She was the aggressor, the Democrats there deliberately instigated the confrontation by trying to bring in the Mayor of Newark, who has not right or authority to enter a federal facility. Either the three Democrat Members of Congress there knew that and wanted a confrontation on video or they are collectively too stupid to know their jobs and the difference between Congress and a local mayor. 

While I believe the first point is the most true, the second is undeniably true too. 

LaMonica concludes, “We’re asking you to help us make as much noise as possible to ensure everyone courageous enough to speak truth to power is safe from political persecution. Please, Carole, split a donation between me and the DCCC before the midnight deadline to help my colleagues and I stand up for what’s right.” 

Like I said, this moron won with almost three-quarters of the vote, she doesn’t need a dime to win reelection. But she wants the money so every trip she takes, every meal she eats, as many of her expenses as possible and be declared “campaign-related” and she doesn’t have to pay for them with her own money. That’s how these gerrymandered districts that send people with IQs smaller than their shoe size work. It’s perfectly legal corruption. 

Why make a hero out of someone like McIver? Who else do Democrats have? The Democrats who did things for the benefit of the nation are long since dead; the party has outlived its usefulness. Any organization that would celebrate McIver, Swalwell, Jamie Raskin, Adam Schiff, etc., is not worth half a bucket of spit and rat hair, with all due respect to half buckets of spit and rat hair. 

That this is who Democrats celebrate – raise up and a “face” of the party – should disgust every American. Then again, if you weren’t already disgusted by what Democrats have become, you haven’t been paying attention for decades.
