It’s incredibly demoralizing to law-abiding, rule-following, normal Americans to watch Democrats publicly commit crimes without ever getting in trouble for it.
I’m not talking about the indictments and prosecutions of high-level Democrats on charges that may or may not hold up in court — the Jim Comeys and Letitia Jameses. These prosecutions may or may not be at least partly politically motivated, but Democrats will always think that’s all they were. And the refined legal arguments for conviction stand little chance of success in leftist jurisdictions like Washington and New York.
I’m talking about Democrat politicians who knowingly flout the law, brazenly and openly, on video for all to see. These people are undeniably committing serious, felony-level crimes which all Americans can see with their own eyes.
Democrats have always been the lawless party. Look what they did with mass illegal immigration. But back then, they at least pretended to have legal justification. For example, their gross distortion and semi-execution of asylum laws was met halfway by international NGOs coaching the aliens on exactly what to say to give it all that fig-leaf of defensibility.
Also, failing to enforce the law and claiming it’s a policy argument is not the same thing as brazenly, openly breaking the law.
Let’s start with Tennessee State Rep. Justin Pearson. Yesterday, when the House voted to redistrict itself (potentially taking the state from 9-1 Republican to Democrat representation in the U.S. House to 10-0), Pearson threw quite the fit. Action News 5 sets the scene:
Cameras in the Tennessee Capitol captured a tense moment between State Representative Justin J. Pearson (D-Memphis) and state troopers who were detaining his brother Thursday, moments after GOP lawmakers passed a new congressional map that split the brothers’ city into three districts.
Before state Republicans passed the newly proposed congressional map on Thursday, protests erupted in the House chamber, prompting Tennessee Highway Patrol to remove demonstrators.
“Get the f*** back!” Justin is heard shouting at officers as he and his brother, KeShaun Pearson, were being escorted out of the House chambers.
The Memphis lawmaker could be heard raising his voice at one particular trooper as the crowd moved outside. “Boy! The f*** is wrong with you?! The f*** is wrong with you?! Stupid m***********…”
Troopers were seen on video bringing at least one other person into custody.
Pearson hugged KeShaun and told him he was proud of him before troopers took him away.
