Rep. Delia Ramirez and the Anti-Democracy Democrats

They are embarrassing.

And embarrassing themselves.

Instead of settling in and doing their job of debating and voting on the issues confronting the nation, House Democrats have decided the uniform answer to the election of President Trump is to impeach both the president (again) and his Cabinet members.

Such as?

Here’s a sample headline on the problem from Axios: “Scoop: House Democrat seeks impeachment hearings into DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.”

Axios reports that Democrats have moved to impeach the following, in addition to President Trump:

  • Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem
  • Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr
  • Secretary of War Pete Hegseth

And, but of course, who can forget the two impeachment attempts directed at President Donald Trump by Democrats in 2019 and 2021? With Democrats like Michigan Representative Shri Thanedar and Texas Representative Al Green already out there proposing a third Trump impeachment right now? (RELATED: Hegseth War Crimes Charge By Dems: What About Obama?)

All of which makes crystal clear one serious fact. Which is that today’s Democratic Party is decidedly anti-democracy and will go out of its way to overturn the results of a free election by impeaching both President Trump and members of his Cabinet.

And it takes no imagination to realize that the impeachment virus has so infected the Democrats that if President Trump is succeeded in the White House by the election of Vice President JD Vance — or any other Republican — that Republican president will quickly be targeted for impeachment by Democrats as well.

All of which sends the vivid message that today’s Democrats no longer believe in free elections or democracy itself.

Case in point: At a recent hearing, Illinois Democrat Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez went out of her way to make wildly over-the-top accusations against Noem, saying: “YOU are not fit to hold the office, and I, again — to your face — demand your resignation.”

This accusation, mind you, is against the decidedly experienced Noem, who, before becoming Homeland Security Secretary, served as, first, a member of Congress and then governor of South Dakota.

Watching the Ramirez performance is to see a vivid example of the anti-democracy virus running rampant inside the Democrats’ own party. Simply based on her performance in that hearing, it is Ramirez, not Secretary Noem, who is decidedly “not fit to hold the office” she holds.

It would seem obvious to most sentient observers that the American people have little to no patience in putting up with these anti-Trump antics from various Democrats. They produce no accomplishments, no legislation, no progress in dealings with any perceived problem facing the country. They just hurl political invective to get some television time.

At the end of the political day, this insistence on playing impeachment/resignation politics by Democrats will be up for a vote from the American people. The self-same American people who have, a little over a year ago, re-elected President Trump in a landslide, solidly rejecting the Democrats’ anti-democracy politics.

Then again, that’s democracy at work. For which today’s Democrats like Rep. Ramirez seemingly have little to no respect.

Amazing. And a political loser.
