One of America’s few remaining sane Democrats has effectively called his party’s bluff.
Monday on Fox News’ “The Five,” former Democratic Rep. Harold Ford Jr. of Tennessee, who serves as a rotating liberal co-host on the show, delivered a one-minute monologue demanding that Democrat leaders finally put up or shut up about conditions inside the Delaney Hall Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Newark, New Jersey.
Otherwise, he said, leftist protesters will remain emboldened in their violent resistance toICE’slegal operations.
“I would urge Democrats,” Ford Jr. said in a clip posted to the social media platform X, “if indeed the governors around the country believe there’s something inhumane, something illegal happening in these detention centers, the Democratic governors ought to all come together, fly to Washington, go to the White House, stand outside the White House and say, ‘We would love a meeting with the president.’”
Why should Democrat governors do such a thing? According to the former lawmaker, if his party’s leaders at the state level seek access to the detention centers, they could go through with cameras and document the truth about conditions inside.
For more than a week, leftist protesters have gathered outside the Delaney Hall facility.
Amid rumors — likely manufactured ones — about inhumane treatment of the detainees, the usual assortment of militant,foul-mouthed, leftist miscreantshave made general nuisances of themselves.
Some of those miscreants, in fact, took it upon themselves to block regular traffic in front of the detention center. In one viral video, anexasperated truck driverexposed them as fools and cowards.
Speaking of viral videos, anti-ICE agitators have always had one obvious objective: generate social media footage that portrays ICE in a bad light, thereby eroding public support for enforcement of immigration laws. It explains why those agitators so oftencome across as performative.
Eventually, however, authorities must restore order.
