Democrats just walked into a giant trap.
Liberals created this blunder on their own.
And Nancy Pelosi got hit with one warning that struck fear in every Democrat’s heart.
Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat majority voted to censure Arizona conservative Congressman Paul Gosar and strip him of his committee assignments.
The Democrats exercised this power grab after Gosar tweeted an anime cartoon that showed an animated figure with his face swinging a sword at a cartoon figure bearing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s face.
Democrats claimed a cartoon amounted to a death threat and booted Gosar from his two committees.
In her speech, Nancy Pelosi claimed cartoons were now violence.
“This is an insult to the institution of the House of Representatives,” Pelosi ranted. “It is not just about us as members of Congress, it is a danger that represents to everyone in the country.”
But Democrats just opened a can of worms that very shortly they may wish they never did.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy promised payback in the event the Republicans win back the majority.
Party leadership determines which committees its members sit on.
Democrats never before decided which committees Republicans could sit on and vice versa.
McCarthy noted that Gosar took down the video and never condoned violence adding that Democrats badly overplayed their hand in kicking Gosar off his assigned committees.
“Let me be clear. I do not condone violence, and Representative Gosar had echoed that sentiment. The video was deleted, but Democrats won’t listen because they will do anything to distract from the failures of one-party rule in one year destroying a nation,” McCarthy declared.
McCarthy listed the prominent Democrats like Ilhan Omar, Maxine Waters and Eric Swalwell that the next Republican majority would strip of all committee assignments.
“Their actions today and the past have forever changed the way the House operates. It means that the minority rights that have served this body as well are the things of the past. And furthermore, it means that under the Pelosi precedent, all of the members that I have mentioned earlier will need the approval of a majority to keep those positions in the future,” McCarthy exclaimed.
Omar is a known anti-Semite, Waters incited mob violence against Trump officials by encouraging left-wing lunatics to terrorize administration members in public and Swalwell allegedly carried on a sexual relationship with a Communist Chinese spy.
Nancy Pelosi claimed it was “unlikely” Republicans would hold the majority after next November’s midterm elections.
That false bravado flew in the face of the polling data.
The Real Clear Politics polling average currently shows Republicans holding a five-point lead on the generic congressional ballot over Democrats.
That is a historically high lead for Republicans this early in the election cycle and past history points to a GOP wave hitting the country next November.
If events play out as the polls suggest and the GOP wins power the likely first act of any new GOP majority will be to strip high-profile Democrats of their committee assignments as retribution.
