Remember when politicians could disagree without acting like toddlers? Yeah, me neither. But what’s happening in our country right now makes even the worst political tantrums of the past look dignified. We’re watching the complete breakdown of basic civility. And I’m not talking about heated debates or passionate speeches. I’m talking about grown adults throwing the rules out the window whenever they don’t get their way.
Here’s what really gets me: These same people scream about “saving democracy” while they’re actively destroying it. They show up to official government meetings and act like it’s their personal stage. They demand to be heard but refuse to listen. And when someone finally says “enough is enough,” they play the victim card faster than you can say “double standard.”
At a Texas redistricting hearing Thursday night, Democratic congressional candidate Isaiah Martin gave us a perfect example of this madness. Martin, who’s running for Houston’s 18th Congressional District, didn’t just break the rules—he basically set them on fire. When his speaking time was up, he refused to stop talking. When officials asked him to yield, he got louder. And when security tried to remove him? Well, that’s when things got really crazy.
From ‘BizPac Review’:
A congressional candidate is the subject of a wild arrest video out of Texas, after being forcibly removed from a hearing.
Isaiah Martin’s attempt to filibuster the redistricting hearing ended in cuffs as he was dragged away from the microphone by a capitol security official…
“America will rise up against you!” he screamed.
This comes after President Donald Trump encouraged states to redistrict in a way that would add more Republicans to Congress, especially in red states that have received a large influx of voters moving away from blue states like New York and California.
