Democrats Ignore Media, Obstruct Every Dangerous Trump Cabinet Pick

Democrats Ignore Media, Obstruct Every Dangerous Trump Cabinet Pick

The Wall Street JournalPeggy Noonan, and Vice President Harris’ former communications director Ashley Etienne, gave very bad advice to Democrats on this issue. on sunday Meet the press.

While discussing the pressure on Republican senators to approve all of Trump’s dangerous and unqualified Cabinet nominees, Nooners began by insisting that Democrats better not allow themselves to appear too “obstructionist or partisan” during the hearings. , because God forbid. They could be allowed to act the same way Republicans do day in and day out.

NOONAN: I think it was Lisa Murkowski who said the other day, I think, to No Labels: “Look, people are under real pressure. You better toe the line.”

It’s very funny that there was a time when, if you were a Republican, you were afraid of Donald Trump. They are now afraid of Donald Trump’s agents on the ground in several states who, as Lisa Murkowski said, will elect them and pressure them in many ways.

So they are under real pressure. But interestingly, Democrats will also be under pressure. There will be pressure in these sparky hearings that everyone watches, to not just seem obstructionist or partisan, to be read, to know your report, to know who this person is and to get them out. Let them reveal themselves.

Which, unfortunately, was not the panel’s worst opinion on how these hearings should play out. Next, Etienne insisted that Democrats will have to pick their battles over who they go after.

WELKER: Ashley, what do you hope to see from the Democrats? As Peggy says, they have a fascinating role to play here.

ETIENNE: No, I think… I think Peggy is absolutely right. I mean, the challenge for Democrats will be picking their battles. You can’t chase all these guys.

You know, I personally think the only candidate we’re ignoring right now who is the biggest threat is Tulsi Gabbard. So that would be my advice to Democrats.

Some of these people you’ll have to let gobut those who I believe pose the greatest threat to America, to American democracy, to our national security, they will be the ones they will have to lean on, and Tulsi Gabbard is one of them.

Why the hell not? If they are unqualified, dangerous, crazy, and completely unsuitable for these positions, they have every right to make sure the public is informed about why they should not be allowed to hold these positions and to vote against them. Sorry Ashley, not only no, but no. There is no reason for a Democrat to capitulate to Trump prematurely. None.
