In a stunning display of political hypocrisy that perfectly captures everything wrong with the radical left, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) admitted on Friday that terrorism threats are "deeply concerning" while simultaneously demanding Democrat changes to ICE operations before agreeing to end the DHS shutdown.
Speaking on Bloomberg's "Balance of Power," the former DNC chair - who you'll remember was ousted in disgrace over rigging the 2016 primary against Bernie Sanders - had the audacity to express worry about terrorism threats while her own party holds border security funding hostage for their woke agenda.
This is the same woman who spent years attacking President Trump's immigration enforcement as "cruel" and "inhumane." Now she's suddenly concerned about terrorism? Give us a break.
Wasserman Schultz's comments expose the left's sick game: create a crisis, warn about the dangers, then demand concessions to fix the problem they created. It's political extortion using American safety as leverage.
While President Trump's administration works tirelessly to secure our borders and implement the mass deportation mandate given by voters, Democrats are literally shutting down the Department of Homeland Security unless they get their way on weakening ICE operations.
Translation: We'll only protect Americans from terrorists if you let us tie the hands of our immigration enforcement officers.
Fortunately, we have a president who actually puts America First. Unlike the previous administration that treated our border like a welcome mat for criminals and potential terrorists, President Trump understands that national security isn't a bargaining chip.
The American people voted decisively for secure borders and strong immigration enforcement. Democrats lost that fight at the ballot box, and now they're trying to circumvent the will of the voters through legislative blackmail.
How long will Democrats continue putting their open-borders agenda ahead of keeping Americans safe? And when will voters finally hold them accountable for this dangerous political theater?
