Nets Trumpet Democratic Sit-In, Twist House Rules to Trash Republicans

On Wednesday, House Democrats staged a sit-it on the House floor trying bring their failed Senate bills to a vote in the House. Many are calling their actions a publicity stunt, and they seem to be right. All three of the liberal networks were glued to Capitol Hill during their evening broadcasts. “The dramatic sit-in on Capitol Hill,” ABC’s David Muir touted on World News Tonight, “Sitting down, demanding action on gun control.” The sit-in also gave them the opportunity to trash House Republicans.

“And as funerals continue for the 49 who were murdered, Democrats today seized the floor of the House of Representatives, demanding that the Republican majority allow a vote on gun control,” stated CBS’ Scott Pelley on Evening News, trying to shame the opposition.

The sit-in is being led by Representative John Lewis who had participated in many sit-in during the fight for civil rights. The networks were eager to link the fight for equality with their current push for gun-control. “It was Congressman John Lewis, who famously led sit-ins in the segregated south, who started today's sit-in on the House floor,” praised ABC’s Jon Karl. NBC’s Peter Alexander interviewed Lewis:

How is it a sit-in when you're sitting in a room you're legally entitled to be in?

I read on Twitter that eight fundraising emails have gone out in the last 24 hours from the DCCC.  This is all about money.

Leave it to the treacherous Democrats and their media partners to stage a cynical event meant only to obfuscate the real security threat facing America:  Violent Islamist dogma and an unwillingness by Barack Hussein Obama and his corrupt minions in the DoJ, FBI and DHS to confront it honestly.

Naturally they trotted out that dimwit John Lewis and the rest of the CBC hucksters to construct some fraudulent connection between the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s and this Leftist effort to seize Consitutional rights from American citizens - based solely on the fiat of some partisan, faceless bureaucrat who doesn't like the views of a political opponent.

Unreal hypocrisy.
