The House Republican leadership has grown so frustrated with Democrat radical extremism, that they’re calling their bluff once and for all.
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy plans to give the far-left the vote they want on abolishing ICE, and shine a spotlight on what Americans would be getting by voting Democrat in the midterm elections.
McCarthy has earned a reputation for a no-nonsense approach to representing his constituents and national legislation. If Democrats want to rally around denouncing the rule of law, the Republican stalwart will put their proposed legislation front and center.
“It’s the craziest position I’ve ever seen, and they are just, they’re tripping over themselves to move too far to the left,” Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan reportedly said. “They are out of the mainstream of America and that’s one of the reasons why I feel very good about this fall.”
With the Republican leadership calling them out, Democrats are already running scared.
Despite the poll numbers that more than 75 percent of American do not want to dismantle Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, Democrats continue to cater to their slim progressive base. The fact that House Democrats spent the time, money and energy to create and submit legislation for the destruction of ICE shows everyday Americans that the extreme left pulls their strings.
Wisconsin Democrat Rep. Mark Pocan filed a bill to end the agency once and for all, and the effort has gained traction among progressive Democrats. The liberal has been joined by Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal and New York Rep. Adriano Espaillat to press the effort forward.
The shear insanity of removing law enforcement protection at the southern border and across the country has been a hypocritical talking point that Democrats have engaged in with the biased mainstream media. But McCarthy’s call to show their cards has liberals backpedaling.
With McCarthy reportedly moving to open floor debate and have a vote on the Abolish ICE bill before the August break, the same cast of liberal characters apparently don’t want a vote.
Rep. Pocan has now gone on the record saying that McCarthy’s helping the legislative process unfold to a conclusion is a “political stunt” by Republicans. That statement has even the far left scratching its collective head. But Pocan’s other statements clearly show that the Abolish ICE legislation was not filed in good faith.
“If Paul [Ryan] really wants to give us time, we would love to have time on the floor,” Pocan reportedly said. “We’ll be glad to capture floor time to talk about family separation, to talk about ICE, to talk about DACA, all the stuff that they haven’t given us floor time on.”
Contrary to Pocan’s statement, America looked on as numerous immigration bills backed by Republicans and Pres. Donald J. Trump were voted on that would have provided a pathway to citizenship for upwards of 1.8 million so-called Dreamers. Democrats voted against every one of them.
To say the liberal front led by the likes of Pocan are disingenuous would be an understatement, to say the least. But the rising progressive extremism coming out of the primaries provides telltale signs that the next wave of Democrats will move even further left.
While it seems some Democrats are playing fast and loose with the legislative process to garner fake news media headlines, others are wedded to disrupting the American way of life.
For example, when New York socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ousted the No. 4 ranking Democrat Rep. Joe Crowley in a recent primary, that sent a signal the party has shifted even further left. Ocasio-Cortez ran a campaign platform of open borders, socialism and abolishing ICE among others. The upstart favors not only holding a vote to end ICE, but actually doing it.
In California, Democrats are no longer willing to support moderates who negotiate in good faith across the aisle. Diane Feinstein — a 26-year incumbent Senate Democrat — was snubbed by the state’s party leaders because she would not back the more radical positions. Despite Sen. Feinstein outpacing challengers by a wide margin in the primaries, Kevin de León has earned the Democratic Party endorsement based on his willingness to support far left positions such as abolishing ICE, sanctuary cities, repealing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and open borders.
In Washington, D.C., Democrats’ chickens are coming home to roost. Republican leaders are calling them out so that people will know which want to bring down the country, and which are trying to bamboozle Americans.

The left wants to surrender America to anyone who feels like overrunning her, that is treason and the bastards shot. God Bless America MY home sweet home!
What is funny on the whole thing is that all of the Democrat Party sponsers for the bill said they will not vote for the very bill they propsoed, that should tell us how wild asnd crazy they are!!! Here is another question for far left wing Demcorat Party, you want open borders, “exactly how many millions of illegal aliens do you want to cross our borders for is it 5 million, 10 million, 50 million, 100 million or no limit?? The American voters should demand an answer to that question before we even think of voting for the Democrat Party in the 2018 election!!!!! So ask it of the Democrat Candidates before the 2018 election!!..
are you kidding? we never got an answer to what our “fair share” is either. do you really think they’ll tell you how many illegals is enough?
Its good to keep this in mind. The synonym for democrats is collective stupid. #walkaway
They have already proven that they can not be trusted to maintain our American way of life. Obama did his best to take America over the edge. There is nothing more that needs to be proven to this Patriotic American. The Dems need to go!
Never ever give up; let us not get complacent…let a Red Wave overturn the false Blue Trickle!
The American people need to come out in the
2018 elections and vote ; then President Trump/Pence can finish throwing out
the trash, appointing new judges, building the wall, etc. Keeping America Great !
The corrupted democrat party now socialist don’t even try to hide that fact! Even Comey is calling for people to vote democrat (socialist) and ignores the fact that the truth is obvious. BTW, who does Comey think he is telling people how to vote? Has he even read their platform from the just past primaries? Free this and free that without a word on how much that crap will cost and who’s going pay for it?
Voters (citizens only, I wish) must realize the reason media and Democrats criticise and scream about everything President Trump does. It is because that is all they can do. They can’t stop him, they can’t compare him to Obama because there is no comparison. Obama never met with North Korea and tried to make things better. Neither did their darling Bill Clinton. Neither Clinton nor Obama ever tried to make the Russian bear be tamed; they never tried to build a wall to stop the unending flow through across the Southern border; so all they can do is scream and holler. It doesn’t matter whether they scream the truth or not, just so they’re screaming. They try to make it an avalanche of bitterness and lies (like the Mueller probe) hoping some of it will stick for that is the only way they can defeat him in the coming fall elections and again in 2020. With the way things stand now they can’t win and they know it, so they must try to make Americans hate the best president they had in decades. And of course it works with the people (idiots) who were never going to vote for President Trump to begin with. They march, scream, threaten and try to joust with windmills, but they accomplish only damage to themselves.
The only radicals are the Republicans
Your opinion…. disagree. The radical democrats are destroying America.
The republicans are not radicals, but the “LIBERAL, SOCIALIST, COMMIE DEMONIC-RATS” sure are and they’re getting worse day by day ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Spoken like a true millennial idiot!
I may be “alone” on this issue, but I say that the Democrats have every right to be globalist/socialists. Just as long as they are not able to HIDE it from Americans.
I obviously believe that is despicable, that is if they are allowed to HIDE it.
Overall 84% of Americans want strong, secure borders and want them defended. Let them bury themselves. CNN’s ratings are now LOWER than the Food Channel.
Let the Dems bury themselves.
Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)
To….San Jose Mike…..This country doesn’t need socialist/globalist “S.O.B.s like the “DEMONIC-RAT PARTY” instead the Government should be “OF, BY AND FOR WE THE PEOPLE” instead “OF, BY AND FOR THE DEMOCRATS” ! ! ! ! ! This country isn’t a “DEMOCRACY but a REPUBLIC” and the Demotards don’t understand this ! ! ! ! ! ! That’s why they think they are right and everyone else is wrong ! ! ! ! ! The “REPUBLIC” is based on the “CONSTITUTION” not liberal assed thinking ! ! ! ! !
I totally agree with your assessment. Pull back the curtain and let all Americans see who lies behind it. I believe that there are still enough common sense Americans left in this country to stop their agenda from becoming a reality!
When you vote in the mid-term elections remember this: If you wish to be a slave with no freedoms vote DEMOCRAT. If you wish to remain free with US Constitutional freedoms vote REPUBLICAN. Not a hard test.
NO FREEDOMS = DEMOCRAT
WITH FREEDOMS = REPUBLICAN
I was happy to see this and they should put it to a vote in Congress so that people paying attention will not vote democratic. What a shame we have to put up with this. I was also happy to see that the younger folks are switching parties also as they see from their pay checks what is really happening. Just need to clean up the swamp once and for all. To build back up to what it is today it will take another 50 years to go so corrupt and the world as we know it will not be here anyway.
“Liberal Democrats……Usually mad…..usually WRONG !!! “. Send this message to everyone you know !!
You need to edit your articles better! The last phrase ” which want to bring down the country, and which are trying to bamboozle Americans” should have been ” which party wants to bring down the country and bamboozle Americans”.
This is a good article. I hope many people read it and pass it on.
“WE THE PEOPLE” should vote “ALL DEMONIC-RATS” out office and declare “THE DUMBOCRATS OUTLAWS”, “disband them and never allow them into politics again ! ! ! ! ! ! !
It is time to quit calling these extremists “progressives”. That is the nice term they use, but they are “hard-core leftists”, should be identified as such, and isolated from reasonable people.
The Democratic terrorist organization isn’t interested in their own people who, by the way, foolishly support them to their own detriment. All they and the RINOs are pursuing is a position inteh totalitarian NWO OWG and to hell with America.
