Sunny Hostin, the host of “The View,” expressed strong displeasure that not all Democrats walked out after Representative Al Green was removed from the session for disruptively shouting during Donald Trump’s speech to Congress.
Many left-leaning individuals seem to share a similar stance, as evidenced by the peculiar sight of congressional Democrats singing “We Shall Overcome” on the House floor while Green was being justifiably censured.
“I expected the rest of his Democratic caucus, the rest of his colleagues, to walk out with him,” Hostin said Wednesday.
But . . . why? What would that have accomplished?
A seal-clap moment for journos at The New York Times — and nothing more.
Hostin justifies this because Trump’s presidency so far “is not normal. It is a five-alarm fire.”
Yet were that true, the literal last thing Democrats should be doing is walking out.
It is crucial for Democrats to vigorously oppose Trump’s agenda, utilizing every possible strategy to capitalize on the slim House minority held by the GOP and consistently presenting their arguments on policies to the American public around the clock.
Big, blubbering acts of theater will have literally zero effect; indeed, visible public abdications often empower opponents.
Same with the bingo-hall paddles various Democrats held up to (incoherently) criticize Trump during his speech.
That should be obvious even to a witless racist like Hostin.
November’s results show that Americans are tired of Democrats’ political theater: They want action on inflation, the border and crime — plus an end to woke social engineering.
They made this beyond clear at the voting booth, yet almost all Dem electeds are refusing to listen.
Hence the paddles, Green’s election denial (he screamed at Trump, falsely, “You don’t have a mandate”), Hostin’s malarkey, Thursday’s syrupy singing and every other bit of empty rage.
The sad truth?
Dems are resorting to this theater-kid insanity because they have nothing beyond the same failed policies — and it’s easier to act out than do any real re-thinking.
