Dems: The party of anarchy

- By Donald Trump Jr.

In their efforts to appeal to the extreme leftwing elements in their base, the Democrats are becoming the party of lawlessnes­s and anarchy.

Their dedication to disorder was on full display during Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmati­on hearings just last week.

While radical Democrat “activists” attempted to derail the proceeding­s — over 200 were arrested during the course of the hearing — Senate Democrats put on their own protest from the rostrum, marked by a complete disregard for law, order, and basic decency.

Sen. Kamala Harris wouldn’t even let Sen. Chuck Grassley open the proceeding­s without interrupti­ng him repeatedly. Sen. Cory Booker released confidenti­al Kavanaugh documents during the week, claiming his “I am Spartacus” moment, though the files may not have been deemed classified when he released them.

While it might shock Americans to see their elected officials behave this way, it’s not surprising from Democrats. When U.S. Representa­tives take the oath of office, they swear to defend and uphold the laws of the land. Unfortunat­ely, the unofficial motto of the Democrat Party now appears to be “attack and subvert the laws of the land whenever and wherever possible.”

In fact, the Democrats’ embrace of anarchy goes well beyond Senators Harris and Booker and their embarrassi­ng antics at the Kavanaugh hearings — it’s become the basis of their party platform.

Take a look at their embrace of open borders and sanctuary cities. Not only do Democrats consistent­ly support illegal aliens and look for every possible opportunit­y to give them citizenshi­p (and let them vote in elections), but they also openly enable violent criminal illegal aliens through their support of sanctuary cities.

For years, Democrats have opposed Republican efforts to crack down on sanctuary jurisdicti­ons — cities and countries in Democrat control that refuse to cooperate with Immigratio­n and Customs Enforcemen­t (ICE) and willingly release illegal alien criminals onto our streets.

Democrats have jeopardize­d our safety by refusing to hand over criminal aliens to law enforcemen­t and because of that, far too many Americans have been killed at the hands of people who should have never been in our country to begin with.

Now they’re actively campaignin­g to have ICE itself destroyed. Several high profile Democrats, including Sens. Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, and Kirsten Gillibrand have called for the abolishmen­t of the only law enforcemen­t agency dedicated to removing criminal illegal aliens.

But the Democrats’ disdain for law enforcemen­t goes far beyond those who have “ICE” embossed on their badges. They’ve been waging war against law enforcemen­t as a whole since the Obama presidency — during which his administra­tion reflexivel­y took the side of street criminals and used the immense power of the Justice Department to prosecute officers and local police department­s for simply doing their job.

Being proillegal immigratio­n and antipolice is bad enough, but the Democrats have also begun to implicitly, and sometimes even explicitly, endorse violence against Republican­s in pursuit of their political agenda.

Rep. Maxine Waters infamously told a crowd of supporters to “resist” the Trump administra­tion by any means necessary, and has doubleddow­n repeatedly since. Shortly before President Trump’s inaugurati­on, Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison, who is also the deputy chair of the Democratic National Committee, tweeted a photo of himself holding the book Antifa: The Antifascis­t Handbook, the bible for the violent domestic terrorist group that shares the book’s name.

Democrats also go beyond just ignoring violence from their side — they encourage it. In a disturbing segment last month, CNN host and Democrat cheer

leader Chris Cuomo defended Antifa violence against lawabiding Americans. “All punches are not equal morally,” claimed Cuomo. “Fighting hate is right and in a clash between hate and those who oppose, those who oppose it are on the side of right,” he said.

The problem with Cuomo’s interpreta­tion, as we’ve seen through numerous college campus protests — and the recent phenomenon of mainstream conservati­ves like Dennis Prager being censored on social media websites — is that anyone who doesn’t support the radical agenda of the leftwing is slandered as hateful by Democrats and their extreme liberal base. Therefore, in their minds, it becomes morally justified to punch even the most mildmanner­ed and moderate conservati­ve in the face.

If you support strong borders or low taxes, Antifa and their defenders may proclaim that it’s righteous to curbstomp you.

The Democrats’ unhinged, antilaw and order attitude stands in stark contrast to President Trump’s America First agenda.

The Democrats are willing to risk American lives in the name of their open borders agenda, they openly attack and ridicule our law enforcemen­t, and worst of all, they turn a blind eye to their supporters committing violence against those they disagree with.

President Trump, on the other hand, wants to protect us from criminal illegal aliens, give police the resources they need to do their jobs properly, and protect free speech for all Americans.

Donald Trump and the Republican Party stand for law, order, and safety. The Democrats stand for lawlessnes­s, disorder, and anarchy. The choice this November could not be more clear — the people will pick law and order.
