As I mentioned before, I'm not particularly happy with the
Trump administration, but I must say that the Democrats – politicians and media
alike – have reached a new high in hypocrisy this week.
Exhibit A:
Democratic outrage at the possibility (now almost certainty) that the
Republicans will invoke the “nuclear
option” and change the Senate rules to eliminate the filibuster of Supreme
Court nominee Neil Gorsuch, even though it was the Democrats themselves, under
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid who on Nov 21, 2013 used the very same
nuclear option against the Republicans, and it was Democratic Vice Presidential
candidate Tim Kaine who boasted on TV on
Oct 28, 2016 that the Democrats would use it when Hillary was elected to get
their candidate approved.
Exhibit B: The
liberal media’s public outrage at Trump’s claim that the Obama administration used
the intelligence agencies as political weapons against his campaign, followed
in the past few days by the sudden media silence and downplaying of the whole
issue now that it has been revealed that Susan Rice, President Obama’s National
Security advisor, asked for access to the names of Trump’s campaign team (normally, pursuant to US law, US citizens names are masked or "blacked out" in any reports circulated) that
showed up in intelligence reports, and then made that information available to
the press in leaks..
I certainly understand that the liberals are upset that they
lost the election (though it was their own fault for backing such a flawed candidate),
and politics has always been a dirty business, but I must say that this unremitting
liberal Democratic attack on the Trump administration, including even the
suborning of the intelligence community, is more vicious and dirtier than even
the obstructionism of the Republicans against Obama’s policies, and that was pretty
bad.
