Democrats Realize There Are Consequences to Their Actions
By Bonchie | Jul 26, 2021 10:30 AM ET
The last year of politics has seen Democrats take their newfound power and attempt to go full Leroy Jenkins with it. We are down to exactly two Democrat senators who are willing to say publicly they won’t blow up the filibuster, and Sen. Joe Manchin seems to flounder on that promise more as each day passes.
Meanwhile, the House is a horror show of radical left policies, from federal takeovers of state elections to bills that essentially ban independent contractors. Making the entirety of the United States into California seems to be Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s goal. That California is currently a disaster doesn’t seem to play into her calculation.
But it’s not just policy that Democrats are pushing the envelope on. When it comes to the inner workings of the House, Pelosi has thrown all caution to the wind, with the latest example being her select committee to investigate January 6th. In a deeply partisan move, she’s taken the ability away from Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to seat the Republicans he wants on the committee, a historical courtesy that was given to Pelosi when she was in the minority.
