It may sound cliché to reiterate this point, but it keeps surfacing because Democrats consistently provide examples to support it: Their leadership demonstrates a complete lack of shame. The recent reactions from Democrats to the Supreme Court’s decisions on Friday, allowing the department of government efficiency (DOGE) to operate under the executive branch’s guidance, only reinforce this concerning pattern.
Consider Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), who made troubling threats against Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials back in May, as mentioned by my colleague Nick Arama:
But on Tuesday, he made it even worse by threatening DHS officials. “They’ll find out,” he said if DHS decided to arrest the Democrats in question.Â
He restated his point multiple times before declaring, “It’s a red line. They know better than to go down that road…There are clear lines that they just dare not cross.”
…
Jeffries went on to ramble about President Donald Trump’s popularity.Â
Incredibly, Rep. Jeffries wasn’t done with this narrative; more recently, he has threatened to dox U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and DHS agents.
