Democrats Will Pay the Price for Placating the Squad
National Review ^ | 1/19/2021 | David Harsanyi

They came to Washington “to shake things up,” Reuters recalled last fall, but the lawmakers known as “the Squad” — New York’s Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Massachusetts’s Ayanna Pressley, Michigan’s Rashida Tlaib, and Minnesota’s Ilhan Omar — soon learned that the “political fast-lane can be perilous.”

Is it, though? Without any accomplishments to speak of, the Squad nonetheless has received widespread obsequious media coverage. Only last week, 60 Minutes reporter Lesley Stahl asked Nancy Pelosi, “Why does AOC complain that you have not been grooming younger people for leadership?” It’s not often a prestigious journalist asks the speaker of the House to explain the grousing of a third-year backbencher.

Silly. The public has been indoctrinated. The squat is our future.

Very soon, that Socialist/Tail will be wagging the Dumkoft-Dem-Dog even more than it already is doing.

Democrats Will Pay the Price...

They have the rigged Dominion voting machines, and soon will have tens of millions of newly imported voters.

No they won’t.

This is typical NRO RINO McTurdish/Minionish thinking. The left NEVER pays a price for anything. They continue to get away with literal murder, fraud, deceit, theft—any and all crimes.

Besides a low level nobody that the public had never heard of, name ONE major Deep State official/criminal to even be indicted.

I saw it in an article that now, more than ever, we know who the enemy is. They had to come out of hiding, shed their sheep clothing, and expose themselves for who they really are.

We now know who needs to be removed from the government sector in order to get our nation back, if that's even possible at this point.

Oh yeah, I’m sure the Dems are soooo frightened right now, about messing up...

No, the Dems actually understand power and how to use it.

The “Wahhabi” wing of the Democrat party.

The mainstream commies cannot control them, and they get wackier every day.

Yes we will pay the price. Just wait until the Biden tax increase is passed sometime this year. They may not just repeal the Trump tax cuts, but also add in global warming taxes to make Ocasio-Cortez happy. It’s going to be a bumpy ride with Democrats in charge of everything in Washington.

What a pathetic publication the NR has become. They are either clueless or willfully going along with this communist coup. Maybe it will occur to them at some point that the GOP is dead.
