Democracy Dies in Demagoguery -

We are told to trust the wisdom of the American voter - the very voters who put these same people, mostly Democrats, into the American government. The Tunnel Dweller


 The American Spectator | USA News and Politics   "Last week, some members of the Squad were back to doing what they do best: pretending that photo ops and Twitter appeals equate to good governance.

"This time, they and some of their radical colleagues joined a pro-abortion protest on the steps of the Supreme Court building. Never mind that these public servants swore an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States,” which doesn’t say anything about abortion and says quite a bit about the separation of powers. Such niceties are quickly abandoned when there are clicks and contributions to be collected, especially in a difficult election year.

"Leading the charge was everyone’s favorite spotlight-chaser, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.). After being arrested for blocking traffic, she pretended to be handcuffed until she couldn’t help attracting even more attention by making a fist pump. Predictably, a fundraising email went out to her supporters immediately after this bravura performance of political dinner theater.

"A Disturbing Pattern

"This is not the first time a Squad member has abandoned any pretense of respect for the Constitution in order to pursue purely ideological goals. Ocasio-Cortez has made a particular habit of such behavior, from claiming that Republicans “amended [the] Constitution to kick FDR out of office,” to accusing the Court of initiating a “judicial coup” by choosing to hear an election-law case, to her continuing crusade to pack the Court with liberal justices.". . .
