Whenever you hear Joe Biden’s cheerleaders at MSNBC or CNN craving for the times of “principled” conservatives, you must know what they’re truly pining for: the times of conservatives appearing like full suckers.
It is a story as previous as time. Democrats change the principles of the sport, however nonetheless count on Republicans to play by the previous ones.
There are a number of current examples to select from, however let’s begin with the uproar over the House Committees.
In November of 2021, when Democrats have been flying excessive with management of Congress and the White House, Pelosi and her minions voted to throw Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar off of their respective committees.
Much like Mitch McConnell’s warning to Harry Reid in regards to the nuclear possibility in 2013, then-minority chief Kevin McCarthy identified the potential repercussions of this new precedent.
“It means under the Pelosi precedent, all the members that I have mentioned earlier will need the approval of a majority to keep those positions in the future,” he defined. He went on to state that the brand new customary would “continue to be applied in the future.”
Maybe the Democrats didn’t assume Republicans would ever take management of the House once more and subsequently they’d by no means must face the results of their actions. What’s extra possible although is that the Democrats assumed that Republicans would by no means make good on their threats. McCarthy may speak powerful in entrance of the cameras, however finally, he would take the excessive street.
Unfortunately for members of the U.S. Congress like California Reps. Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell and Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, McCarthy and firm will not be letting bygones be bygones.
After all, Rep. Eric Swalwell had an intimate relationship with a Chinese spy. If that doesn’t disqualify somebody from sitting on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, then what does? As McCarthy identified, Eric Swalwell can’t get a safety clearance within the personal sector — “so would you like to give him a government clearance?”
On MSNBC, Swalwell complained that the choice to kick him off the committee was “purely vengeance.” Someone ought to inform Christine Fang’s BFF that there are many justifiable causes to provide him the boot from the House Intelligence Committee. Political vengeance is simply an added bonus.
When it got here to “getting Trump,” the Left all the time behaved just like the ends justified the means. But now pearl-clutching is again in vogue.
Take the newest scandal surrounding Representative George Santos, a recently-elected Republican from New York’s third congressional district.
We now know the congressman is a whole liar.
Naturally, Democrats wasted no time getting on their cleaning soap bins about this subject.
Last week they launched the Santos Act, a invoice geared toward stopping candidates from mendacity about their backgrounds. According to Fox News, underneath mentioned invoice, “any candidate who lies about their background could face a year in jail or a $100,000 fine.”
In addition to this courageous new piece of laws, Democrats like California Congressman Ted Lieu and Texas Congressman Joaquin Castro, have known as for Santos to resign.
Now I don’t like the concept of a Republican con man sitting in Congress. Resume padding about having the ability to use Excel is one factor, however making up your total instructional background and profession historical past? That’s a distinct story.
Therefore, I believe the Right ought to supply to make a cope with the Democrats.
Republicans ought to counsel having one liar step down for one more.
If Santos’ lies hassle his progressive colleagues a lot, then he may resign in alternate for one more member of Congress. How about Senator Elizabeth Warren? If the lady who pretended to be Native American shouldn’t be prepared to participate within the deal, how in regards to the man who lied about his navy service— Sen. Dick Blumenthal?
Unless the Dems conform to a compromise, Santos ought to keep put.
As for the labeled paperwork that have been discovered at President Joe Biden’s previous University of Pennsylvania assume tank, or those that have been present in his Wilmington storage subsequent to his Corvette, or those that have been present in his personal library, or those—properly, wherever else they discover the following batch…I don’t assume conservatives ought to overreact.
Instead, they need to match the identical degree of shock that the Left unleashed when the FBI raided Mar-a-lago and located top-secret paperwork within the former President’s secret-service protected residence.
Conservatives in D.C. usually fall sufferer to wanting fleeting approval from the Left. The simplest way for right-wing pols to get that unusual new respect from parrots on the pretend information networks and propaganda artists from The New York Times is to show that they’re prepared to be perennial patsies for the opposition.
When members of the mainstream media drone on about how they miss “civility” within the GOP, what they actually miss is the loser mentality that has pervaded the celebration for a lot too lengthy.
It is time to play hardball. What’s good for the elephant is nice for the donkey.
