O'Malley v. Cuccinelli on 'Kids in Cages'
Blather or blarney? Why not both!
By Andrew R. Arthur on December 5, 2019
If you're from outside the Beltway, you likely have not heard about a minor fracas between former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley (D) and acting Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Ken Cuccinelli at the Dubliner pub in Washington, D.C., on the night before Thanksgiving. I only discuss it because it brings into clear relief much that is wrong with the immigration debate today.
Petula Dvorak detailed the dustup in a "Perspective" piece in the Washington Post on December 2, 2019. Both men were there because they are graduates of Gonzaga High School, a rather exclusive Jesuit institution not far from Capitol Hill. Alumni of the school get together on the night before Thanksgiving annually.
My colleague Jerry Kammer and I are graduates of one of Gonzaga's sister Jesuit schools, Loyola Blakefield in Towson, Md., which celebrates the same tradition. So I am familiar with the event, if not the setting.
